Migration Paths

Notes

The settings that are stored on the server are not migrated through the scripts. The server stores the latest completed changes to the settings and is available whenever client connects to the server.
Sign out and exit the Yahoo Messenger before migration on the source and the destination.
You are recommended to restart the computer after migration.
Scripts do not support the migration of hardware settings that are related to webcam. If necessary, this must be done under the path Start, Settings, Control Panel or under the path Yahoo Messenger, Preferences, Webcam, Camera Settings.
The scheme of the Yahoo Messenger skin depends on the scheme of the operating system. Thus, to get the same look-and-feel as in the source, migrate the schemes settings under the path System Settings, Desktop Settings, Appearance.
The settings under the path Help, Audio Setup Wizard are related to the system sounds. Use the System Settings, Sounds to migrate these settings.

Limitations

You cannot migrate the Content tabs, from all previous versions to 8.1, as they are now plug-ins whose settings are stored in an XML file.
You cannot migrate the File Transfer settings, from all previous versions to 8.1, as the feature is not available in the destination version.
You cannot migrate the List Text settings for the individual profile, from all previous versions to 8.1, as the feature is not available in the version.
