How to copy HandicapMaster to another PC?

HandicapMaster uses a number of third-party library files that are installed onto a computer when a 'NEW INSTALLATION' is run. For this reason, when setting HandicapMaster up on a new PC (or re-installing after reloading Windows), we always recommend performing a full installation.

Please visit the Downloads page for access to the Handicapmaster download.

Once you have installed HandicapMaster on the new PC, the easiest way to copy your data is:

  1. Start HandicapMaster on the original PC.
  2. Select BACKUP DATABASE from the File menu.
  3. Click CHANGE FOLDER button and select a suitable folder (such as "A:" for a floppy disk). Click OK.
  4. Click YES (this will create a file called 'HandicapMaster.bak').
  5. Exit HandicapMaster.

  6. Start HandicapMaster on the target PC.
  7. Select RESTORE DATABASE from the File menu.
  8. Click CHANGE FOLDER button and select the folder containing the "Handicapmaster.bak" file (such as "A:"). Click OK.
  9. Click YES.

You may need to exit HandicapMaster and restart it the first time for the registration details from the backup to be recognised.
