PMW to timeout
wisker3600:
JimH & Magic Randy, I want to purchase MC22 ASAP. How do I buy it? Do I have to transfer my files from PMW to MC22? How do you do that if I need to? Is the $50.00 a one time fee? Can I use the $12.50 code? I have over 15,000 files in my library. Is this going to be a problem? Is it possible to just keep using PMW after I pay wothout transferring files? So many questions, so little time. Thanks in advance.....Bob
JimH:
Backup your library in PMW.
Download and install JRiver Media Center.
Restore your backup. File > Library ...
Purchase from the Help Menu in the program and use the coupon when you do.
Minor updates are free. Major upgrades are available at a discount, but the version you purchase will always work.

As we are in a holiday period, and I am away from my computer, will I be able to do this after PMW times out on 12/31/16? If not, couldn't JRiver extend the timeout for a week or two to gives those away on vacation a chance to transition successfully.
Regards,
Ken

The coupon is good until January 7th.
PMW makes automatic backups.
We can't extend the timeout. Pono has known about it for about six months and could have handled things more smoothly.

Hi Ken,
As Jim says, the good news is that PMW, and the full versions of MC, automatically backup your library. You can use one of these to restore your MC Library with the PMW library.
When you return you can download and install MC22. After you do that you can restore your library from a PMW backup. The restore is the same as described: File->Library->Restore Library->Browse->SELECT PMW BACKUP
As your PMW will be expired, you will not be able to go into the app to check your options on where PMW is storing the backups. You can search for them instead. Do a wildcard search for "PM Library Backup". On my Mac they are in a directory: Macintosh HD, Users, randy, Documents, JRiver, PonoMusic World 20, Library Backups
