Need to install kJams 2 on a temporary computer while I get my mac keyboard repaired

Post by waynegfx »

Dave I am having to send my MacBook Pro off to have the keyboard repaired and I am going to be using my old macBook Air. Do I just install kJams 2 on the temporary computer? I think it is going to be for about 7 days. Thanks for all your incredible help

you want to clone your system to the other computer:

this includes your license

I am trying to follow the clone instructions, but my music is on an external solid state hard drive so not sure how to get everything linked, sorry for being so ignorant of the process. Thanks so much

first ensure you've dragged your preferences folder to the new computer
then on the old computer, run one last time and go help->deactivate
then when you run on the new computer, it should pick up the serial number and "just work".

for the external drive, if you have dragged your prefs folder (named "kJams") and music folder (also named "kJams") to their corresponding locations on the new computer, then it should all "just work" without you having to "get everything linked"
