Switching from portable to installed software
To switch from portable use to an installed PhraseExpress:
- Run PhraseExpress from the portable drive.
- Export your phrase file with the default name "phrases.pexdb" onto the desktop.
- Deregister the license keys from portable installation.
- Exit PhraseExpress. You can then remove the PhraseExpress folder from the portable drive.
- Remove the portable device.
- Install PhraseExpress on your computer. IMPORTANT: Don't run PhraseExpress yet when being prompted at the end of the installation!
- Use the Windows Explorer to move the phrase file you just saved on the desktop to the default phrase file location (usually "%APPDATA%\PhraseExpress\phrases.pexdb")
- Launch PhraseExpress from the computer and register the license key.
