We recommend doing a fresh installation of Geneious Prime on your new computer, rather than migrating the software across. This will ensure the licensing component of Geneious is set up correctly on your new computer. Installers are available from our Downloads and Previous Versions pages. The first time you run Geneious on your new computer you will need to activate your license again.
Geneious Cloud - The simplest and most reliable transfer method is through Geneious Cloud. Upload your data to your Geneious Cloud workspace from your old machine, then activate Geneious Prime on your new machine and access it through the Geneious Cloud tab. See Geneious Cloud FAQ and How to Start using Geneious Cloud for more details.
Backup and Restore function : Alternatively, you can transfer your Geneious database to another computer by creating a backup of your data in the old machine, then restore the database from the backup on the new machine. Please see How do I back up the local database? and How do I restore a Geneious backup?
It is possible to copy your Geneious data folder to the new computer and then set the data storage location to this folder in the Geneious Preferences. However, you must make sure the entire folder (including all hidden subfolders) is copied, otherwise your database will become corrupted (Windows explorer may truncate file paths longer than 256 bytes, which will corrupt your database).
If you are no longer going to use Geneious on your old machine you should also release the license from this machine. This can be done by opening Geneious on your old computer and going to Help -> Release License. Note that there are a limited number of releases available within a given period of time and trying to release too often may be misconstrued as a user trying to share a personal license with others. Only release a license when absolutely necessary.
