Managing Applications
Using Transport
Making a copy of an application to rebuild on another
computer
Use the Transport wizard to package an entire application and its
configuration settings so that you can rebuild the application with exactly the
same option settings on a different computer. To start the Transport wizard,
click PowerClean in the QuickClean main window; then select Transport.
You can also include associated data files in the Transport package. For
example, if you are transporting your spreadsheet program from your work
computer to your laptop computer, you can include the spreadsheets that you
have created.
To recreate the application, run the package file from the new computer, as
described in the next section, “How do I rebuild a transported application on
another computer?”
+ WARNING: Make sure that the application license permits you to run a
copy of the application on more than one computer. Some application
licences now permit you to use a single copy of the application on more
than one computer as long as only one computer is in use at a time.
Choose the Transport wizard to:
• Create a copy of an application on a different computer.
The Transport wizard creates a compressed file that contains an entire
application, including its option and Registry setting information. You can
use this file to rebuild an application with the same settings on your office
and laptop computers.
• Move an application to a new computer.
Avoid time-consuming application setup when you buy a new computer.
Use the Transport wizard to reinstall your old applications with the same
option settings.
Rebuilding a transported application on another computer
An application that you package with the Transport wizard can be rebuilt on
another computer that can access the disk or the network where you stored the
Transport package file, and that is running Windows 95 or later. Simply
double-click the name of the Transport package file in a Windows Explorer file
list, and follow instructions that appear on the screen.
