How do I transfer Depreciation Calculator Pro to my new computer?

  1. Install Depreciation Calculator Pro on your new computer using the setup file you downloaded from the last Annual Update that you purchased, or purchase the latest update to install: Click Here
  2. Go to your old computer and find the Asset Database.mdb file which is located in the following folder location:
              C:\ProgramData\Cellutionware Software\Depreciation Calculator\
    Note that ProgramData is one word and that it is a hidden folder. See the instructions below to unhide hidden folders.
  3. Copy the Asset Database.mdb file to a removable flash drive.       
  4. Go to your new computer and paste the Asset Database.mdb file into the same folder location as mentioned in step 2 above. You will over write and replace the file that already exists in that folder.
  5. Close all open windows.
  6. You are now ready to use Depreciation Calculator Pro on your new computer.
  7. Please note that after installing the update and before you print any report, you must first open the associated company file in the Add / Edit Assets mode, and once your company file loads and you see the first asset record, you must then press the ENTER key on your keyboard to force depreciation to be recalculated. Then you can go and print your reports for that company. You will only need to do this the first time you open a company file after this update has been installed.
