Advise re transfer to new PC
I have a new PC without a disc drive. On my old PC I use v5 which I purchased on a disc. Can I download v5 on the new PC and if so do I pay for this, or if I opt to download v6 what will this cost? Thanks for any advice. Celia

Re: Advise re transfer to new PC
Probably the easiest way is to purchase a V5-V6 upgrade as a download as this can be installed on the new PC and you can enter your V5 and V6 codes.
Alternately copy the contents of your V5 CD to a USB stick and install the V5 program from that.
You can see the prices for any available version on the Family Historian Store page

Re: Advise re transfer to new PC
Welcome to the FHUG Celia.
Yours is a common problem and there is [kb]|[/kb] advice to help you.
You can stick with your existing FH V5 or upgrade to FH V6 via https://store.family-historian.co.uk/ which will cost £24.99 but will be well worth it.
You only need one FH Licence to run it on two PC that you own, see how_to:about#licence_agreement|> Licence Agreement.
Firstly, checkout the how_to:reinstall_family_historian|> Family Historian Installation Advice.
Then review the how_to:family_historian_installation_details|> Family Historian Installation Details and scroll down to section on "If you only have an Installation CD, but your new PC is a Netbook/Laptop with no CD drive...
To perform the full migration from old PC to new PC see the how_to:family_historian_migration_guide|> Family Historian V5 & V6 Migration Guide.
If anything is not clear then please ask again.
If you use Ancestral Sources then don't forget to migrate that too.
