How do I transfer QLM to another machine?
Transfer Limitations
Note that as per our EULA you are limited to transferring a license 4 times per year. The relevant section in the EULA is included below.
QLM Pro / Enterprise Users 5.2 or later
It is highly recommended that you back up your QLM License Server before migrating your products to a new client system.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure you NEVER "upload products to the License Server" from the new system until it has the new product definitions. If you are presented with a prompt to upload your products to the server, answer NO or Cancel.
If the computer on which QLM is already installed is operational:
Uninstall QLM from the current system in order to deactivate the license
Make a backup of the following folder, including subfolders, on the old system:
%appdata%\Soraco\Quick License Manager
%localappdata%\Soraco_Technologies_Inc\IsQuickLicenseMgr*_StrongName_<xxx>\w.x.y.z\user.config
Copy the backed-up files from the old system to the corresponding location on the new system.
Edit the %appdata%\Soraco\Quick License Manager\profiles.xml file in a text editor (this step is not needed if you're running the latest version of QLM)
Locate the entries productsFile, queriesFile and emailTemplatesFolder
If the path is hardcoded for a specific user, update the path based on the new system's path
For example, if your user account on the old system was called "tom" if you see a path that looks like: "c:\users\tom\AppData\Roaming\Soraco\Quick License Manager\..." and your new user account is "tommy", you should update the path to be "c:\users\tommy\AppData\Roaming\Soraco\Quick License Manager\..."
Install QLM on the new system
Launch QLM
Step through the QLM License Wizard to activate your license
Close QLM
On the new system, go to the following folder in Windows Explorer: %localappdata%\Soraco_Technologies_Inc\IsQuickLicenseMgr*_StrongName_<xxx>\w.x.y.z
Copy the backed-up user.config file to the folder above.
