Migrating Badgemaker license from machine A to machine B

Modified on Wed, 19 Apr, 2023 at 4:07 PM

For migrating your Badgemaker from machine A to machine B, you may need to perform the following tasks:

Task 1 (on Machine A): Backup Badgemaker data files.

Badgemaker uses a set of flat files instead of a database, so all you need to do is to back up these files before you perform the migration. On the Badgemaker interface, choose Option > Configuration. Then locate the path in which the Badgemake data files are stored.

Then you will be able to see the Project Folder Path, see the picture shown below.

Make sure you back up everything residing on this path on Machine A, and use the same path on Machine B.

Task 2 (on Machine A): Deregister the license

Please follow the steps in the video link to deregister the license: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8RUbRv42rA

Task 3 (on Machine B): Install Badgemaker and re-register the license

Task 4: (on Machine B): Restore all files copied from Machine A

It is suggested you'll use the same path as that on Machine A, once the new path has been created, copy everything to this new path on Machine B. Double-check that the path is correct by looking at the screen below on Machine B.

Try to open the migrated projects and check if all badges are there. Perform a couple of test prints to see if everything is okay.
