Migration Paths

Notes

Reboot the computer after the migration is completed.
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 and 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 excludes it.
The Quarantined pests do not migrate to the destination for security reasons, as they are the pests that are detected on the source.
The scheduled tasks 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 and is applicable only for 5.0.
All the settings of PestPatrol are user independent and in the case of multi-user migration, undo happens only when all the users are selected.

The proxy settings can be migrated only when they are configured on the source; otherwise, the settings remain unchanged on the destination from 5.0 to 5.0.

You cannot map the user-specific paths for all the users in the case of multi-user migration from 5.0 to 5.0.
