Transferring a ITEMAN 4.

0 License to another Computer

If you find that you need to use ITEMAN 4.0 on a different computer than the one on which it was
originally installed, you can transfer the license to another computer by carefully following these steps:

• Step 1: Install ITEMAN 4.0 on the new computer. The license transfer will begin on the new
installation computer.
• Step 2: Insert a USB flash drive or thumb drive into the computer to which you want to transfer
the license (i.e., the NEW computer).
• Step 3: Open ITEMAN on the NEW computer (as Administrator, see below), and in the opening
screen, go to the “Transfer License” menu and choose the “Start Transfer” option. The opening
screen can also be seen by clicking on the “License” button.
• Step 4: Insert the USB flash drive or thumb drive into the OLD computer that has a valid license.
Open ITEMAN on the OLD computer (as Administrator, see below). From the ITEMAN License
menu choose the “Transfer This License” option under the “Transfer License” submenu.
• Step 5: Insert the USB flash drive or thumb drive back into the NEW computer. From the License
menu, choose the “Complete Transfer” option from the “Transfer License” submenu.

To run ITEMAN 4.0 as Administrator:

Windows XP: Login to an administrator account, run ITEMAN 4.0.

Windows Vista or 7:

• Right click on program

• Select “Run As Administrator”. Then a User Account Control window
will open.
• Click on “Allow” in the User Account Control Window.

Transfer of the license should now be complete.

Once the license transfer is complete, you can move your item banks and tests. All item banks and tests
are stored in the workspace databases. Go to the Workspaces folder of your original ITEMAN 4.0
installation and copy all the files in that folder (they should have an .FDB extension). If you have stored
other workspaces in other locations you will want to find them and move them as well. For easiest
access in your new ITEMAN installation, you should copy all the .FBD files into the Workspaces folder on
the new computer. If you have created any external Key files they will be in the Keys folder and any tests
you have saved as RTF files will be in the Tests folder.
