aforrest Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Greetings group - Forgive the naive question here, but.... Bought a new PC this offseason and about to install ATX2018. I'm a solo office and install the program as "standalone" not on a server. I read this article and watched the video... https://support.cch.com/kb/solution.aspx/000048812 Is the process the same for standalone installs? The article/video mentions stopping the ATX service/server on both the old and new PC. But I don't have ATX installed yet on the new PC. I'm really just wanting to be able to rollover returning client data. A bit confused and appreciate any insight. Thanks! AF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Yes the process is the same regardless of the type of setup. If you don't have ATX installed on the new computer, then you can skip the step about stopping the server service on the new computer. People may advise you to just export/import or backup/restore, but those are poor choices when compared to doing it properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey! I resemble that remark! But seriously, I did not know there was a "proper" way to do it. I got new computers this year and installed the software for 3 years as clean installs, exported my returns from the old computer, imported to the new. Everything is rolling forward properly from 17 to 18 so far. Tom Modesto, CA 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
