ODBClink exists as a series of files and folders contained with a main folder. It is secured to a hard drive. In order to move ODBClink to a new location, the main folder must be copied in full to the new location. If moving ODBClink to a new machine or hard drive, you may need to obtain a transfer key depending on the version you have
# Locate the existing [[ODBClink Folder]];
# Cut (or Copy) and paste it to the new location;
# [[Enable user access to ODBClink folders]]
# Start ODBClink in the new location by double clicking the BudgetLink.exe file within the [[ODBClink Folder]];
A [[New User Setup Wizard]] will start.


You will need to perform three steps:
If using an older version a [[Transfer Key]] may be required.
# Move the ODBClink folder to the new machine
# Buy a Transfer Key (only if moving to a new machine or hard drive);
# Enter the Transfer Key into ODBClink (only if moving to a new machine or hard drive).


=== Step 1: Move the ODBClink folder to the new location ===
ODBClink should now be useable on the new machine. Be mindful you may need to update your data connection. See [[Changing how BudgetLink connects to your data file]] for more information.
 
Please follow these instructions to move the ODBClink folder to a new location.
 
# Locate the [[ODBClink Folder]] to move;
# Copy and paste the folder to the new location;
 
=== Step 2: Request your Transfer Key ===
 
A Transfer Key is required if you are using [[ODBClink v2015.12.2.159]] and below. To get around the transfer key you can '''[http://accountingaddons.com.au/ODBClink/upgrade/ upgrade]''' to a latest version.
 
Please follow these instructions to request your transfer key.
 
# Start ODBClink;
# Answer OK to all the standard prompts that display until you get the ODBClink welcome dialogue;
# On the ODBClink welcome dialogue, check the '''I accept the terms and conditions found in the End User License Agreement.''' and click '''Continue''';
# Click the '''Buy Transfer Key''' button to obtain your transfer key;
# Click '''Continue'''. You can still use ODBClink while you wait for your transfer key. Once you receive your transfer key, proceed to the next step.
 
Please allow 24 hours turn around time. For faster response times please provide notice of the transfer key request so that we can be prepared to generate it for you.
 
=== Step 3: Enter your transfer key ===
 
Once you receive your transfer key, follow these instructions to enter it into ODBClink.
 
# Start ODBClink;
# Answer OK to all the standard prompts that display until you get the '''Transfer ODBClink License''' dialogue;
# Click the '''Enter Transfer Key''' button;
# On the '''ODBClink Licensing''' dialogue, click '''Enter Registration Key''';
# Copy and Paste your Transfer Key into the '''Registration Key''' field  of the '''Registration''' dialogue and click OK;
# Click on the '''Continue''' button of the '''ODBClink Licensing''' dialogue;
 
ODBClink should now be useable on the new machine. Be mindful you may need to update your data connection. See [[Changing how ODBClink connects to your data file]] for more information.
