How to move: Single-User

It is possible to move the program and the database, for example from an old to a new computer or server. Note that the only way to move the database is by using a backup. It is not possible to move the program files of Mamut Business Software; you need to install the program on the new computer. The procedure is dependent on the type of installation.

How to move Mamut Business Software and the database to another computer:

Go to Help - About - Manage license Information - Installed computers and select Inactive next to the computer name that you no longer wish to use, and click OK.
Note! Do not close Mamut Business Software, but immediately go to the next step.
Create a default backup via File - Backup - Create Backup.
Read more in How to Create Backups. Make sure you save the backup to a location that the new computer has access to, or from where you can easily restore it, for example a memory stick.
Install the program files of Mamut Business Software on the new computer.
Read more about installing the program in About Installation.
Note! If you install a version which is newer then your current version, the database will automatically be updated. We recommend that you always use the newest version.
Start Mamut Business Software. This will open the wizard for first-time startup.
Select Restore Backup in the first step of the wizard and click Next.
The wizard for first-time startup will now close and the wizard to restore a backup will open.
Select External backup and use the button to browse to the backup location.
If you have protected your backup with a password, you will be asked for the password upon selecting the backup.
Then click Next and again Next.
Read the Important Information and select I have read and understood the information above before clicking Next.
The backup will be restored and information about the backup will be shown once the restore has been completed.
Click Finish to close MDataTools.

The procedure is now complete and you can use Mamut Business Software on the new computer.
