I just bought the Upgrade and registered it in my downloaded copy. I thought it "Automatically" copied the Library and Settings from MC15. Didn't do it. Any ideas what I may have done wrong?

Thanks,
Rod

I just noticed in another thread that MC16 wont work with a MC15 server. Our WHS still has MC15. So perhaps that's why the new 16 on the Client wouldn't get the old 15 settings. When I get some time later I'll install 16 on the server and post back here.

The automatic update checks if MC15 is installed and attempts to import the currently loaded MC15 library if it is a standard, local library. It copies the library files to the default MC16 library location, updates the library format to the current version and copies the MC15 settings from Windows Registry. I have not tested if it can copy just the settings in case the last used MC15 library is a Library Server client library.

i did attempt to open mc15 and check for updates first before logging on wiki to download the latest mc16.
mc16 is currently importing my 100,000 songs to mc16...then doing all the additional work, getting cover art, thumbnails, etc...  very frustrating.
 both  quick launch icons are shown 15 & 16...as it didnt replace mc15 with mc16. 
there has got to be an easier way.

If MC16 didn't automatically find and import a copy of your MC15 library you can always restore a library backup file. This has not changed in MC16. The restore system works also with older version libraries.
