Move Jaikoz without losing settings or license

#1

I would like to uninstall Jaikoz on my current PC and install it on a different PC. How can I do this without losing my current settings and my license?

Thanks
Steve

Your license is a separate file and can be placed anywhere. IIRC, there’s a “select license file” under File when it’s not registered. A registered version says “update license” and wants you to find another file.

You can copy \\Program Files(x86)\Jthink\Jaikoz\settings.jai to your new install and it should keep most everything.

Hell, you could prolly copy the entire Program Files\Jthink folder and just install over it, you know, if you’re lazy.

Got ya. Thanks.

I tried the copy-over methods and it didn’t change the trial install. The 4.5.1 File menu doesn’t have a selection for installing my license…

If in fact 4.5.1 is the most current rev (just downloaded it from the website) we need some accurate install/reinstall instructions–thanks.

Edit:
I had to delete the existing license.jai file and rename license file to .jai

Based on my experience today, you can only move Jaikoz once. I’ve had it installed on an old computer, then moved to a new one. That computer burned down last week so I installed Jaikoz on my new laptop and did the whole ‘moving of the license and settings’ to my new laptop. However, now I get an alert that states that I’ve had Jaikoz installed on two other machines and can not continue to use it, that I have to contact Support for help. So, just emailed them, plus posting here for Paul. Hope to get it back running as I really miss it. I use it at least once per week.
