Support CenterHow do I move or copy SureFire data to a new computer?
Below are listed two ways to move the program. Please attempt Method 1 first for any data migration for best results.
Method 1:
When transferring the data from an old installation of SureFire to a new installation of SureFire:
On the old computer, copy the UTSxx folder (where xx indicates the year of the program e.g. UTS14) to a flash drive or other removable media
Take the flash drive or other removable media to the new computer and copy the UTSxx folder from the removable mediato the drive where you wish the program to reside
Open the UTSxx folder
Open the TWTech folder
Run the Setup.exe file
Note: As a best practice, if you are moving multiple years of the program, you will want to run the Setup.exe file starting with the oldest year and move forward in order
Method 2:
Alternatively, you may also move the program in the following manner:
Backup existing returns.
Uninstall workstations.
Install new locations. See theSureFire Solution Center to download and install the current and six (6)prior-year versions of SureFire.
Update.
Restore returns.
These steps will need to be repeated for each year of SureFire that is being transferred.
Create a backup
Warning! Storing SureFire 2011 and earlier backups in the same location will overwrite your data.
We recommendthat you create a folder named BACKUP and create a subfolder for each year.
Open SureFire and log in.
SureFire 2012 and later: Click Tools Backup to Disk Archive Backup
SureFire 2011 and earlier: Click Tools Backup to Disk Start new Backup OK OK Select All OK
Select a destination to store the backup.
For network installations, any location that will be accessible to the new SureFire installation will work.
For standalone installations, a removable medium, such as a flash drive, is required to move the backups to a new computer.
Click OKwhen the backup is complete.
If you have workstations that will be using a new server, each workstation should have SureFire uninstalled
In Control Panel, go to Programs and Features.
It may be necessary to change the view to Small Iconsfor this option to be available.
Locate and select the year of SureFire that is being moved (i.e. SureFire 2014on X: Drive)
Right-click on the name and select Uninstall
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the uninstall process.
Reinstall SureFire to the new location
