To move the Indigo software from one computer to another, there are two items that must be considered. 

• Licensing
• Program Configuration Files & Settings

 

1.) Licensing

 

To move the software license to the new computer, the existing license must first be "de-registered" from the existing computer.  

De-registering the license will free the license for re-use and render the existing installation of Indigo inactive.
(You must de-register the license in the event that you upgrade computers, or simply wish Indigo to be installed on a different PC.)

To de-register the software license, from the main menu, click the "Help" menu and then the "Registration" option. This will display Indigo's registration dialog.

 

Click the "Un-Register" button in the lower left side.

Indigo will then prompt a confirmation message notifying you that it will no longer run on this computer. Continue by clicking the "Yes" button.

 

Now the de-registration process is complete. Indigo  will display a dialog providing the original software serial number and the de-registration key.

Simply email the provided de-registration serial number, de-registration key, and the new software serial number from the new installation of Indigo to support@shadeblue.com.  Upon confirmation, a new authentication key will be returned to you via email.

 

 

 

1.) Program Configuration & Settings

 

Indigo stores all of it configuration data to files located in the main program directory.  This makes if very simply to migrate the existing configuration from one computer to another.  

First, make sure that Indigo is closed and not running.  This ensures all settings and configuration files are saved with the latest updates.

Next, copy this file:

• C:\Program Files\shadeBlue\Indigo\preferences.xml

And these directories:

• C:\Program Files\shadeBlue\Indigo\CONFIG
• C:\Program Files\shadeBlue\Indigo\LOG
  
• C:\Program Files\shadeBlue\Indigo\SCRIPTS
  
• C:\Program Files\shadeBlue\Indigo\SESSIONS

from the old computer to the new computer under the same installation path.

When you start Indigo on the new computer you should have all your existing settings and other library files.

 

Please Note:
Under the Vista x64 Operating System, the "Program Files" path will be "Program Files (x86)"
