How do I move my SecureCRT sessions to a different machine?

The following steps describe how to move your SecureCRT sessions to another machine.

Note: This information applies to SecureCRT versions 3.0 and newer.
.

1. Install SecureCRT on the new (destination) computer, and run it. Take note of the "Configuration folder" location as specified in Options / Global Options / Options / Advanced.
   
   
2. On the source computer, open the Global Options dialog and navigate to the Options / Advanced category and make a note of the path indicated in the Configuration folder field. The configuration folder is set the first time SecureCRT is run after installation. If you choose the default location when running SecureCRT for the first time after installation, the configuration folder will likely be as follows:
   
   C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\VanDyke\Config

   Note: In versions prior to SecureCRT 5.0, the default configuration location is as follows:

   C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\VanDyke\SecureCRT\Config
   
   

3. Close all instances of SecureCRT on both the source and the destination computers.
   
   
4. Copy the contents (including sub-folders) of the Configuration folder on the old computer to the
   Configuration folder on the new computer.
