Have just bought IM 5.5. And Mario, thanks, for the very generous rebate!

I am expecting a brand new computer within the next couple of days. OS will be W10. Should I then first install IM 5.5. and then restore the impag file via pack and go? Or do I have to install the older version first, do the pack 'n go stuff thereafter and then "upgrade"? Any other measures I should take to keep all adjustments, too.

Can't wait to run the new IMatch on my new computer.

Regards, Juergen

The 5.5 installer is complete. You don't need to install older versions or anything.

To copy over your database and settings and stuff from the old PC use Pack & Go. Or do it by hand, as an exercise ;)


Tip: Use the same user name on the new computer. This way your user-specific IMatch settings will be available immediately.

IMatch also stores settings on a per-computer basis, using the computer name as the key. Unless you give your new computer the same name as the old computer, these settings will not be available, But most likely your new computer has a better screen or resolution anyway, and hence this is a good thing. You will need to adjust the size of the IMatch window etc. to match the new screen once.
