The data
format has changed with version 6, so the V5 can read data only from V5 and the
V6 only from V6.
To convert (migrate) your old data in the V6 format properly the following
steps are necessary:
1. DO NOT uninstall the V5 before all
migration is finished.
2. Synchronize your data from all mobile versions and/or SiDiary-Online (SDO)
to the V5 version on your PC.
3. Uninstall SiDiary V5 and all SiDiary data from your mobile devices
4. Install SiDiary V6 on your PC and start it. The migration-wizard will start
automatically if he finds V5 data on your PC. If not:
menu 'Tools ->Migration-Wizard'
With SiDiary 6 (from Version 6.0.1184) you can choose the program folder
of the V5 (where SiDiary.exe is located) or the data folder from V5
(where the file SiDiaryProfile.dat is loacated) as target by using the button
'Browse'
5. Install SiDiary V6 on your mobile device (Cellphone, Smartphone or
PPC). Start it there and register it like you have registered your PC.
6. Register SiDiary-Online (=SDO): on SDO under 'Profile
->License-key'). Then the commercials will disappear and you can sync more
than one week.
6a. BEFORE the first synchronisation make sure that on SDO in the
menu 'Extras' the Option 'Allow Synchronisation with SiDiary V6' is enabled and
saved.
This step isn't necessary if you have registered first time with SDO
after the 1st of July 2009!
7. In the PC version of V6 menu 'Extras ->SmartSync-Settings': for
the Pocket PC or the Windows Smartphone set up the paths to the program folder
and the data folder (for questions use the key F1 on your keyboard to use our
excellent help function)
If you follow this steps properly
you shouldn't be faced with any problems!
