Best way to move from MC28 for Mac (expired trial) to MC29 for Mac?

(1/5) > >>

HandLogger:
We used the trail period for MC28 for Mac to rip a couple of dozen CDs, but ended up considering Synology NAS instead.

Given the price of storage these days, the Synology idea didn't make sense, so we're back...but, this time we'll be taking advantage of the special March offer to purchase MC29 for Mac.

Before we decide to pull the trigger, though, I'd like to know the best way to approach the changeover?  In other words, we want to keep the settings we chose in MC28 and, naturally, we want to keep our audio files where MC29 can find them.

By the way, I couldn't find this particular scenario in the Mac MC29 for Mac setup instructions.

Thank you for the help. 

JimH:
Back up in MC28.  Restore the backup in MC29.

HandLogger:
Can you do that via an expired version of MC28 for Mac?

Hendrik:
The latest versions of MC28 will also work with a MC29 license, so if you update to that you can run it with a new license, export, and then swap to MC29.

HandLogger:
I want to make sure that I understand this clearly.  You're saying that we should buy an MC29 master license, back up our MC28 for Mac trial version settings and then download MC29.  Is that correct?

UPDATE: I tried the setup scenario described above and, after I used the RESTORE LICENSE function to enter the registration code we received, via email, I had the following dialog box pop up...

"You are using Media Center 28 Mac to install a license from a different version...Please download and install the version that matches your license, and then try again."

No doubt, I could've misunderstood something along the way, but we don't wish to lose the files and/or the settings we made in the trial version of MC28 for Mac, so, unfortunately, we'll need some further guidance.

Thank you,
HL
