I want to upgrade from 2008 Home and Business, but I don't want to move my old records due to errors. Do I have import option or is it automatic?

It gives you the option to import. I would get the 2014 version though for the newest updates. The other item is when it comes to Backup you will need to figure out how to separate the restore / backup file to insure you use the right one. Not really a big deal though as it is fairly easy. I use their online backup as well.

I believe you have the option to start fresh and not import your old numbers.

You shouldn't have any problem. I have used FTM for years and generally upgrade about every two versions. It is generally seamless. I am using FTM12 now and had no problem upgrading.

In my own experiance, I suffered major data corruption, and many fact fields did not copy at all. I strongly recommend upgrading to Family Tree Maker v16 instead, it works perfectly with my 24,000 records with no issues what-so-ever.

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.

I have read the posts for 2009 and they were more than sufficient to disuade me from buying this new upgrade, or is it downgrade. I have been using 2008 Home and Business since it came out, and would recommend it.

Go to their website and download the upgrade. It will tell you there if there is a charge. Seems to me I remember there is a fee based update structure.

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

I am just a casual user of Word and Publisher. The advantage of keeping with the version that you are currently using is that you probably are familiar enough with it that you know how to do what you need to do. Every upgrade has enough changes to the user interface that it is a pain to have to learn how to the same results with the new version. The only time I upgrade is when the people that I interface with upgrade. I upgraded to Publisher 2007 when the printer that I work with upgraded and no longer supported my previous version. So my advice is to not upgrade unless you have a specific reason to do so. With a new computer I always go with the latest version just because it usually also has an upgraded operating system and I will be having to learn all over again how to do even simple things anyway. If you are sharing files with others, you may need to upgrade just for compatibility.

I believe this upgrade is a single user license (it says so on my box) but you should check with Microsoft.

if you don't want to upgrade then you can do the double install. the first install chose a new install and do not enter the key. at the end of this you will be given 30 days to activate. run the disc again and this time chose upgrade and enter the license key. this is a work around issued by ms for people that could not upgrade such as having a 32 bit system and wanting a 64 bit new install

Not unless you want to upgrade your os to windows 8 or your 9 installation doesn't,t allow you to open an skf file by double clicking it. There is very little difference between the two versions otherwise.

Hi Junie, coming from owning a tech support business for over 13 years I do not know why you can not import your Project Files over to the new version. Very difficult to find any place online that says you can't. I setup a ton of new computers for people and move their personal data files over to their new computers with very few problems. You are only moving project files over from a two generation old product so I do not see any problems there unless Nova Development changed their file format for their projects recently. I did not find any mention or come across Pro Publisher changing to a new file format for their publishing program. So I would highly doubt it here in your situation that you would not have any problems being able to bring your old Publisher Project files & import them into the new Publisher Pro 3.0 program.

No, it does not. It overwrites the old version. Also the product key does not work if you change your country in installation i.e. you can't buy the product in US and install it in a computer in UK.

Is the license on this like the OEM license where it's stuck to one machine, or can I move it to a new system if I upgrade?
856918
Yes. You can move everything over. What's programs that are not compatible would just need to be installed with the correct install.

well I guess use the migration software that comes with it or manually do it as per win 7, nothing special for 8 methinks...

As long as your data is from another "Starter" edition, it will import it. However if you used any other edition, such as "Deluxe", it will not work. I did not find any difference in functionality.
