Loading Open Dental at home

Post by hjoesaar » Fri Jan 09, 2009 6:23 am

I bought a new home computer and I want to load open dental on it. So far this is what I've done. I've uploaded and started the demo version. I tried to upload an office backup (flash drive) to the demo in hopes that it would all sync and I'd be finished. Didn't work - It couldn't fine the right path. Was I going about this correctly? What else should I do?

That was the right thing to do. But now try this instead:
1. Install trial version and get it running (you already did this)
2. On your backup, in your AtoZ folder, find the Setup.exe. Run it. This gets your trial version up to the same version as you have at the office.
3. Follow the directions at the bottom of the backup page in the manual for manually restoring your backed up database to your home computer.
