Done it

That is exactly what I tried to do. When I reported that I couldn't do it and that the 'options' choice did not appear.

I should point out that the old (FAULTY) computer is no longer in my possession - it went on Wednesday back to the seller.

Mike/Jane


The 2 plugins I tried this morning seemed to have worked - Jane said they would appear here if they did. - see screen print.

So can I assume that I am all up and running and am working under the Licence I purchased on 21st Dec, order #4581?

Thanks for everyone's help

Downloaded 'Check for New Search the Internet Settings' plug in.
and upon opening it I got this message (see screenprint) it never gave me the option to 'Run' and 'Install'

Tried that again, twice, but that screen print on the download page does not appear it just goes straight into my files. - see screen print It does state version 2.8 and requires v5. I'm on version 6.2.7 What about if I download another plug in specifically for version 6? If that worked would that t...

That's it thanks I tried to do as advised to transfer between computers but just couldn't. In one of the earlier messages I said that I could not find an 'options tab' in 'Back up and Restore' plug in. As I said I've downloaded free trial to try to overcome my incompetence. Thanks again Mike

this is what I found on my computer so before I get it wrong can you be specific in regard to my files

Thanks for this help

Still not working.

I've now got 3 files - see enclosed screenshots

Sorry Mike, it's me again. I've finally got round to working on FH on the 'old' computer. Everything is working fine EXCEPT the 'add fact' facility. I can add notes, new people, children etc. I can also delete facts, delete people etc. in fact everything else seems to be working fine. I've closed an...

The one I bought in Dec was NOT for an upgrade V5-V6. It was for new version 6 because I was using such an old one (2.3).

Hi Mike Thank you for this help I now realize I did not complete the installation of the free trial and version 6 is now running, using the free trial. - blame age!!!! I've tried to enter the key for the one I bought on 21st Dec - not sure if it's accepted it but if I get a message asking me to purc...

Hi Mike Help. I can't do it. One question I can't find the answer to is:- it says to use 'Options Tab' in the Backup and restore plug in but I can't see one. I've tried to use a free trial on the computer that I will need to use from this week but even that doesn't work it just reverts to version 2.

HELP I've seen this how_to:family_historian_migration_guide#standard_migration_steps|> Standard Migration Steps and this looks quiet complicated for an OAP but I will try to follow it BUT on my old computer (I have to return my 'new' computer to the seller) I have a very old version of FH with sever...
