migrating data from SI4 to SI5.5 - D-Tools Forum

So I need to migrate projects and the databases from an SI4 install on one computer to an SI5.5 install on another. What is the best way to do this?

I found Reed's post on the forums:
installer cannot find my si4 database

Would this be the best way to bring product data across? (including pictures)

BigH - You can import your Database from the MMPD (you do not need to do it during installation).

Simply log into the Navigator of SI5, click Manage Data > Open MMPD. IN the MMPD Window click on the Administration tab > Database and at the very bottom you will see the option to browse for it. It is designed to open to Si4's default location which is C:\Program Files\D-Tools\SI 4, you should see MasterTable.mdb, simply select it and import.

As for the projects, you have to import one-by-one into SI5 from SI4. Click on the Projects Tab in the Navigator and select Import Project, follow the prompts.
