Moving your Billings database to another computer

All your Billings related data is stored in Home Folder > Library > Application Support > Billings. This is the only location where you can store your database. The actual data is stored in billings.bid, whereas the generated estimates, invoices, and statements are stored in the other folder. If you want to move the database to another computer, keep in mind that Billings should not be running.

To move the Billings database to another computer

  1. Quit Billings.
  2. Compress (or archive) the Billings data folder (Home > Library > Application Support > Billings).
  3. Move the compressed folder to the new computer.
  4. Uncompress it so that you have a Home > Library > Application Support > Billings folder on the new computer.
  5. Make sure you have the same version of Billings on the new computer and launch it.

You will have to rekey your serial and license information on the new computer. Optionally, you may want to copy your Preferences file from the old computer to the new one. Copy the following file Home > Library > Preferences > com.marketcircle.billings.plist to the same location on the new computer.
