moving database between computers

[Iosif13]

Hi!

I made a search here, but my time is not enough to make an extensive search.

I would like to transfer my Ultiboard User Database to another computer, cause I bought a new one. I copied the usr file (UsrComp_S.usr), I tried to merge it, it still shows me the User database blank. what I did wrong?

Thanx!

Hi,

I think you are copying the wrong file. The file name you mentioned is a template for users databases, not the actual the user database. If you have version 10 or later, the location of the user database depends on your operating system. 

Windows 2000/XP

C:\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\Application Data\National Instruments\Circuit Design Suite\<VERSION>\database\UsrComp_S_USER NAME>.usr

Windows Vista/7

C:\Users\<USER NAME>\AppData\Roaming\National Instruments\Circuit Design Suite\<VERSION>\database\UsrComp_S_USER NAME>.usr

If you cannot find it there, you can find the path in Multisim

1. Click Options > Global Preferences
2. Select the Paths tab
3. Find the User Database row
