The old computer was running School Check IN version 8 and needs to have the application and data moved to a new computer. This is a FIVE (5) step process.

2. OLD Computer -- Copy the all the files and folders in the SchoolCheckIN folder (include all files and sub-folders) from the old computer to the new computer. The SchoolCheckIN folder is located in C:\Program Files\
   **** See Note #1 below.
3. NEW Computer -- Paste the copied SchoolCheckIN folder from the old computer into the C:\Program Files\ on the new computer. Overwrite the existing folders & files on the new computer. The result should be C:\Program Files\SchoolCheckIN\.
4. NEW Computer --

NOTE #1:

Q. Can’t we just copy the \SchoolCheckIN folder from the old computer to the new computer?

A. NO – Copying the files will NOT properly install and register the files in Windows registry.

NOTE #2:

Q. On the old computer, do we really need to copy ALL the files from the C:\ProgramFiles\SchoolCheckIN\ folder to the new computer?

A. No. In particular, there could be hundreds of backup files in these folders in the
C:\Program Files\SchoolCheckIN\ directory. Only the following file/folders are required:
File:
SchoolCheckIN.006
Folders:
Adult Images
Exports (most recent 30 files)
Old (most recent 5 files)
