Transferring Ace Payroll To Another Computer


  • Backup your payroll data files from the old computer in the same way you do every pay period.

  • We recommend using a memory stick for your backup.

  • See our FAQ Backing Up To Memory Stick.



  • At the new computer, install Ace Payroll using the last upgrade CD you received.

  • There is no need to load your original CD nor any upgrades. The last CD you received contains the entire Ace Payroll program.

  • To ensure the full program is installed click the New Computer button on the fourth installer step, as circled below.



  • Once the Ace Payroll software is installed on the new computer, select Utilities then Restore From Backup.

  • Ensure the restore routine is pointed to the location of your backup data, if necessary by changing the setup.



  • After restoring the backup data, go to Setup then Register This Program. Ace Payroll asks for a four digit Version Registration Code. This was sent to you with the upgrade CD you have just installed.

  • You are now finished. After following this procedure, we recommend looking at a few reports such as a One Off Report or Summary to ensure your data has been restored.
