Moving GJ from one computer to another

[Guest guest]

Hi Carol and everyone at the party,

 

Yes, to move GJ from one computer to another, can be accomplished a couple

ways, though one will be most common.

 

The common or easiest way is to install on the new computer from the CD. On

the old one, export the charts using "Export all..." under the File menu.

Then on the new one, use the other command there under File for importing

charts.

 

Then your charts will be in the new program.

 

As for codes, yes, the new one will need it's own new code in this scenario.

You will like to get that code after installing on the new one, prior to

trying to import your charts.

 

The other method is to copy the whole folder onto some backup and then put

that on the new computer. In this case though you will have to manually

install the fonts, and when you first launch the program, you'll have to show

Windows where Omnis is by clicking "Locate" when it asks, and then hiliting

(dont open) the GorJyoV2 folder and then clicking OK twice. This sets the

registry. This is the complicated method, but it's no big deal to computer

pros.

 

You can also just back up your datafile, which is the largest file in your

goravani folder, and on Windows is named like "data_med" or "data_lrg" and on

Mac it's like "Medium datafile" etc.

 

So if you just back that up, that has all your stuff in it.

 

If you then install on the new computer from CD, then put this old backed up

datafile into the new folder, replacing the new datafile it installed, then

you'll have a fully operational GJ on the new computer but with your "old"

datafile containing all your work, and this installation in this 3rd fashion

is already activated, and thus needs no new code, because the datafile

retained is carrying still it's old "activated" state.

 

So those are the three ways. The default normal way is

 

Install

Activate (get the new code for the new installation on the new computer)

Import chart file which you exported from old system

 

That's the easiest to understand and least complex default approach.

 

Thanks for asking, hope this clarifies,
