Migration Paths

Notes

You must reboot the computer after the migration is completed.
You must update the signatures after the migration. You can use the Update window that appears after migration and restart on the destination for this purpose.
If the network settings are changed on the new computer, the proxy settings must be configured manually.This is applicable only for 5.0.
Only the Exclusion list under the Advanced Settings, Manage, Exclusions path (for 8.1, the path is Settings, Exclusions) is migrated. The files and folders referred to by the exclusion list are not migrated physically. However, if any file or folder referred to by the exclusion list exists on the destination, PestPatrol will exclude it.
The Quarantined pests will not be migrated to the destination for security reasons, as they are the pests detected on the source.
The scheduled tasks will function only when the user for whom the scheduled scan is created logs in. Also the functioning is based on the settings of the scheduled scan. This is applicable only for 5.0.
All the settings of PestPatrol are user independent and in the case of multi-user migration, undo will happen only when all the users are selected.
