for MC symbols backup and reinstall certification.

Postby mt9672 » 03 Mar 2012

Sirs.

I have a plan to change old computer and reinstall MC7.
Now I am using MC7.4 over win7 on old computer.

1. Which file should I backup to hold my added symbols and its configurations?

I searched this forum and found below files, but I can not find any files there on my OS, Win7.

X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TS Support\MultiCharts\Databases\FBPORTFOLIO.GDB
X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TS Support\MultiCharts\Databases\TSSTORAGE.GDB
X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TS Support\MultiCharts\Databases\TSCACHE.GDB

(I Knew what I should do for backup of strategies, indicators, workspaces, portfolios.)
(I will not use MC on old computer any more.)

2. What Should I do Before deleting MC on old computer, for my new installation of MC on new computer to be certified?

Is there any files to copy? or
Is there any numbers or names to remember?

Thank you. TJ.

Then, what should I do to confirm an authentification of installation of new program?
Will it be enough to remeber and write down username and userID?
