I used ACT 2000 when it was sold by Symantec. Will your program be able to import my old database from ACT 2000?

I started using ACT! when it first came out in the late 1980's. Somehow or another I've managed to bring my data with me through many upgrades to the 2011 version. If you link correspondence, e-mails, etc. to contacts it is important either use their recommended directory structure or change the defaults to match the way you think it should work. They keep trying to make this program bigger and better to compete with CRM software. I think it has now been bought by another company who has raised the bar on cost and complexity. So this or maybe one version newer is the end of the line for small users but it has mostly worked and continues to work for about 25 years for me.

Yes you can import an older data base. I've kept mine going from version 3. something.

I used a version prior to ACT 2000 and it imported my data. The only issue I had was using a none standard directory for my data. It thinks stuff is in the MyDocument directory. I pin my Program file to the task bar, It remembers the files I have opened and there's no problem

It did not work for me. My advice is do not take a chance on it. I downloaded the FREE EaseUS ToDo Backup application and cloned my entire hard drive to a smaller solid state drive as easy as copying files in windows. Then I just plugged the new drive and it started the computer just like the old one. I can't imagine it can be easier than this.

I don't know for sure. My experiences with other software like this make me guess that you would have to pay a fee every time you put it in another computer.

Never, and you cant import older " est." files into it. I have lost hundreds of files of addresses when I foolishly bought version 2011 to update my 2005 version. All my old saved data is useless. Also, there are few improvements in the 2011 version except easier access to the (optional, expensive) GPS plug in. This GPS plug in is useless and redundent since most serious drivers have GPS in there autos anyway. I rate Streets and Trips an "F". It sucks.

No. smile. the version backed up from your old computer has files in it specific to that hardware. It would be nice, though, wouldn't it!

Yes you can. I have it loaded on both my wife's and my desktop and also on our laptop. You just have to backup your database on the main computer then transfer it to the other ones.

It has been a while.. but yea you should be able to do that. Remember that this has all the I/O stuff that plugs ultimately into their software. And lastly this is a real deal at $100 bucks! - GENE

Yes, we bought it two months ago after doing a chat with Symantec from their site and asking them if there is a newer version. It is the current version and was a much better price from Amazon than direct from Symantec. I'm not loving this product due to some poor tech support issues, but it mostly works and is current.

If the license for your software didn't expire you can install the software on your new machine and use that license code. If not you'll have to buy new software. You can find it for $22-$25, surf around a bit.

I bought Quicken 2013, but I did not use it because it would not load data from my 2001 Quicken. I bought the 2002 version instead and found it very satisfactory.

If the reference is to data transfer (ie documents), yes. Other data, like bookmarks and contacts, etc., can be imported on the new system for whatever programs you are running. If this does not answer your question(s), please be a bit more specific when referring to "transfer". I was able to transfer all my documents, photos, spreadsheets and other files using this cable. Good luck.

Yes, as long as your not transferring more then 230gig to the new drive. As far as transferring all your info they make a bunch of cloning software. BUT! I highly recommend just reinstall everything from scratch and only transferring what you need from your old to new drive. It will make it run a lot smoother and cleaner.

It was easy for me. What I did was save all of my files and data on my old laptop to a flash ("thumb") drive and then when I inserted it into the Gateway, it was easy to transfer onto the new laptop. Programs may need to be re-downloaded on to the new laptop though, depending on how your old laptop saved them.

From the complaints I've heard I'm wondering about this as well. But they seemed to have a launched an online version. They may have gone to services from the web. I'm not sure if it is intended as a full replacement, but I wonder what it means for me as I have my records from 1999 and want to keep it intact.

Sorry for the delay on your question. You can place the information to an excel spreadsheet as well as a cvs file to import into a database like ACT.

No, it doesn't. I think there is software available to import your data, but the operating systems are different, so they don't wiork together at all
