Just install the demo and then email Pat at Poker Tracker with your registration info on the help, about screen - he'll send you a new code.

Your question is unclear.

Do you already have PT on your existing computer?

If so, just zip the dbs and transfer them to the new computer, then make new db's on the new system and browse to the existing data files.

how do i zip the dbs? yeah i want to transfer all the hands it on on this comp to my desktop

[Gregg777]

Winzip is a compression software.

You don't have to use it, but it makes the transfer faster.

Open your PokerTracker folder and copy all dbs and all hhdb files.

Then move to your new computer and test everything out before deleting from the old.

Try using the FAQ's on PT's website...

Why not just connect your old hard drive with your new computer? That way all your old programs will continue to function as usual and you wont have to reinstall a bunch of stuff.

its a laptop..... and im buying a desktop

Aha, nm then. Yeah, no big deal then just emailing support for a new key. (In return they deactivate your old key). From what I remember, I think youre allowed to have PT on two computers, so if you plan on still using your laptop, you might mention that in your support email.

Does anyone share a database on a network and use PT on two different computers? I'm doing this - mapped network drive, PT on my laptop uses DB on my desktop, transfers HH to my desktop after compiling. If I leave for a while and don't turn off PT and shut down my computer, I get a message saying that it failed to write to the file. To fix this, I have to close PT and PAHud and repair the database in ODBC on my desktop. Does anyone have experience with this?
