Make sure to make a library backup of your MC20 library first (using the option under File->Library->Back-Up Library).  Then you can restore that backup in MC21 once you've installed it, and all settings and the database should come across.  Don't remove your MC20 installation until your happy with how MC21 is working.

And I'll repeat, make a library backup and store it in a safe space before doing anything.

Thanks Mate,
My library is actually on a separate PC still running MC20 for now, but it's good advice.

The local configuration settings (like audio device and media network settings etc.) are still kept in the local library, so you'd do well to make a backup of the Pi's library either way.

Hello Again,
so all is good and well, I installed MC21 and the licence.

My only issue is that my Pi still boots into MC20, how do I change it to MC21?

thanks,

Have a look at the script you use to start MC and see if you can work out what you need to change.  If you're stumped ask again and I'll put up a code snippet  ;D

Thanks, I figured it out ;-)

I now have a small problem for he MC21 booting before the wifi connection, I suspect and so gives me an error of library not found - if I tell it to try again it immediately connects... I seem to recall there was some workaround it? Perhaps telling MC21 to keep trying on its own (with out a dialog box - it's a headless set up) - or delaying MC21's launch until after a Wifi connection is established?

Thanks!
