I have purchased a new PC at home, a Dell XPS 9000 Studio, running Win 7 Home, 64 bit.  My old machine is a Win XP Pro machine. 

Can I get some advice on the nest way to transfer my Birder's Diary program over to the new PC.  Also the best way to save my siting data and get that into the new machine as well.

Not sure exactly which version I am running on the old machine at this time.  If that's importnat I can check when I get home.

If more details are needed to do this effectively please let me know and I will post them.

Thanks,

Ken

Hi Ken,

Instructions for moving BD to a new computer can be found in the Online Users Guide here:

http://www.birdersdiary.com/Documentation/BDV37/How_To/Move_Birder_s_Diary_to_a_new_Computer.htm

Be sure to follow the special license activation instructions for Win 7 at the top of this page.

Let me know if I can assist further,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the quick response. My Birders Diary version is 3.0.2. I do not see a version for that on the download page as you describe above. What do I need to do now?

Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,

v3.0.2 is no longer offered. You should have a CDrom with that on it. In that case, you would want to install BD from that CDrom and continue with the instructions.

Also, to activate your copy of 3.0.2, you will want to go to the bottom of the Product Info => Upgrading from 2.x or 3.0 page on this site and you will see a program you will need to download and run to activate your v3.0 license. Licensing changed after v3.0.

Let me know if I can assist further.

Jeff
