Tech Support ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Colorado Springs, CO | Please make a Resolution to keep a good backup of your programs. Here is info on doing this. I have also attached this info as a text file. There is a place for you to enter your license ID and password need if you have to install again. You can print it or save in your Pattern Master folder and back it up with your other info, so you have it. One option is Online Backup. I use Carbonite. There are other services - some are free or low cost. For the cost of one "Super Latte" a month, you can backup all your files and pictures. Do a search for Online Backup to see other options. Backing up Pattern Master You can download this information as a text file, enter your info and save in your Pattern Master folder. It will be available if you backup your full program. The easy thing is to copy the full Pattern Master folder to a CD. You will need to install again from your program CD or Download but you will have all your data. You will need this info to install again. Product Key: License # - Password Print a copy of the email you receive with the Product Key even if you have ordered a backup CD. CD's not longer have serial numbers. They are just backup copies of the download.
You may also save your download setup file to CD. This is the file you downloaded to install the program. To Backup put a CD in your writable CD drive. Select the full Pattern Master folder to copy. Here is the information in your Pattern Master folder. Charts - When you open a chart and click print the program saves the chart as a text file. Databases - The important file for V4 programs is PMXCharts. It has your charts, defaults and style catalog. Patterns - Save your patterns in this folder. Boutique 5 does this automatically. V4 programs must be directed there. If your computer does not have a writable CD drive, buy a flash drive for your Pattern Master Backup. I've seen some cute sewing related ones.
To back up your database go to System Tools - Backup. You may direct the backup to any folder.
I have Carbonite set to backup the full Pattern Master folder. Updated May 2016
