Situation 2:

• I have a new computer, and…

• I want to transfer the entered data from the old computer to the new one, and…
  

• ADM has not been installed on the new computer, and…
  
• ADM is not working correctly on the old computer or the old computer is not available, and…
• I may or may not have an upgrade to ADM, a new module or a new multi-user license to install.

1. If the new computer is a server or a computer with a shared folder, create a folder called ADM in the location where you want to install it.
   a. Where the ADM folder is located, grant each user Create, Read, Write, Modify, and Execute privileges (these privileges are known by different names depending on the operating system of the computer where ADM is located). For Windows Server 2003, you may also be required to set Share permissions.
   b. For each user who will be accessing ADM, create a drive mapping to the folder where you copied the ADM structure. For example, if you copied the ADM structure to \\server\share\ADM, you can choose to map drive J: to \\server\share. The ADM folder will then be located using J:\ADM.
   c. Go to Step 3.
   
   
2. If the ADM structure is to be installed on a single PC:
   a. Create a folder called ADM on the new computer. Do not create this folder inside another folder that has a name of more than 8 characters in length or contains a space. For example, create the folder C:\ADM, not the folder C:\Program Files\ADM.
   i. If the computer is running Windows XP and multiple users will be accessing ADM, complete the steps below.
   (1) Open Control Panel > Folder Options and choose the View tab > Advanced Settings. Remove the check mark from "Use simple file sharing (recommended)". Click OK.
   (2) In Windows Explorer or My Computer, right click on the ADM folder. Select Properties. Choose the Security tab and select the user name or group of the ADM users. Click Allow Full Control. Repeat this step for each user or group. Click OK.
   (3) Repeat Step 2.a.i(1), but now check the box for "Use simple file sharing". Click OK.
   b. Go to Step 3.
   
   
3. If possible, run ADM on the old computer. Note: if you cannot run ADM on the old computer, go to Step 4 below.
   a. Create a data transfer file and save it to a location the new computer can access.
   i. Choose the menu Tools > ADM Data Transfer > Create Transfer Files (or Export to .Zip Files, depending on your version).
   ii. Select a transfer folder that the new computer can access (e.g., a shared drive, a folder on a floppy disk, a thumb drive, a CD).
   iii. Choose a file name that is no longer than 8 characters or numbers and contains no spaces or special characters. Click the Next button.
   iv. On the selection criteria screen, click the Next button.
   v. Click the Transfer button to create the transfer file.
   vi. Go to Step 5.
   
   
4. If you cannot run ADM on the old computer, you can try restoring a backup of the ADM\Database folder.
   a. If you do not have a backup, data from the old computer cannot be retrieved. Go to Step 5.
   b. If you do have a backup from the old computer:
   i. Create a \Database folder under the \ADM folder you created in Step 1 or 2.
   ii. Copy the contents of the restored \Database folder into this location. Do NOT copy the contents of the ADM\Database folder directly from your old computer that is not working properly!
   iii. Select (highlight) all the files in the \Database folder, right click the mouse, and choose properties. Be sure that Read Only is not checked.
   iv. Go to Step 5.
   
   
5. Install ADM on the new computer.
   a. When prompted for the installation location, select the ADM folder you created in Step 1 or 2 above.
   b. When prompted for serial numbers, use all the serial numbers for all versions of ADM that you have (these may be on separate CDs). Include the serial numbers for your old ADM and any upgrade, new module, or multi-user license you have.
   c. If the new computer is a server or a computer with a shared folder, using the drive mapping you created in Step 1.b, run ADM\Workstation Install\Setup.exe at each workstation accessing ADM. The Workstation setup (not ADM) requires local administrative rights to run.
   
   
6. Start ADM on the new computer.
   a. Test ADM on the new computer by entering and scoring a rating form. If you are not able to enter and score a rating form:
   i. Uninstall ADM
   ii. Delete the ADM\Database folder
   iii. Reinstall ADM on the new computer. Any forms on the old computer cannot be recovered.
   iv. Repeat this test (Step 6).
   v. Go to Step 7.
   
   
7. If you created a Data Transfer file in Step 3, import the contents of the file into your new ADM:
   a. Review the ADM User Guide chapter about Data Transfer.
   b. Start ADM.
   c. Copy the file created in Step 3 into the \ADM\Export folder (see Step 5 for the ADM installation location).
   d. From the Tools menu, select ADM Data Transfer > Import Transfer Files.
   i. Browse to the ADM\Export folder and select the file created in Step c above.
   e. Click the Next button through all presented screens. Read the Help available on each screen if you need instructions.
   f. Complete the import of your previous data.
   g. Go to the Catalog, select a person and view forms to check that data did import.
   h. If you are not able to edit or score old forms:
   i. Uninstall ADM
   ii. Delete the ADM\Database folder
   iii. Reinstall ADM on the new computer. Any forms on the old computer cannot be recovered.
   i. Go to Step 8.
   
   
8. To maintain licensing compliance, uninstall ADM from the old computer.
