Post by: JimH on April 28, 2025, 11:02:36 am

How To Purchase an Upgrade License
Please read these instructions (https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,140669.0.html).

Download and Install The New Version
MC34 is on the Download Page (https://jriver.com/download.html).  A newer build may be at the top of this board.

Find Your License and Restore it
You can send yourself your licenses from the Restore Page.  Please read Restoring a License (https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Restoring_a_License) .

Moving Your Data and MC Database
When you install MC for Windows, it will find your old database, copy it and use it.  It should just work when you run it.  You can also restore your settings at the same time.

On Mac or Linux
This is also automatic.  If necessary, you can restore a backup from a previous version.   MC makes them automatically.  Search for files ending in .zip.  Restore is under File > Library.

Backups can contain settings and thumbnails.

What About Your Old Version?
Keep it as long as you want.  Uninstall it when you're happy with your new version.  Uninstalling doesn't affect the new version or your data.
