How to move Clarity (Lite) software to a new PC?

The Clarity software license is fixed to the HW key. The software itself can be installed freely on different computers, but without the HW key, it will not start.

To move Clarity to a new PC, follow these steps:

1. Get the installation package - the latest version can be downloaded from our website, www.dataapex.com, section Downloads; you need to be registered and logged in.
2. Plug in the HW key.
3. Install the software on a new computer.
   • Ensure all necessary drivers and control modules are installed – some may not be included in the Typical installation.
   • Enter the user code matching the HW key.
4. Connect the hardware (MultiCOM, A/D Converter, etc.).
5. Copy your settings and data into the appropriate files.
   • Copy the system files (Clarity.cfg, *.dsk, Clarity.psw) from the old computer to the Clarity\cfg folder on the new PC.
   • Copy the data files (including the Projects and Common) from the old computer to the Clarity\Datafiles folder on the new PC.

Users of Clarity Full can also use the Archive/Restore command to copy the needed data files (including the Projects and Common) to the new PC.
