    I'm re-organizing my setup and want to split librairies on 2 machines. 
    I'd like to have some duplicates and use 2 keys. 

    Can I re-use the downloaded .cab files that I saved? 

    If so how?

    No need to reinstall; just copy things over the network to the new machine. Split the liecences up onto the two keys.

    Hi,

    Also important: Assign the sample content in the Directory Manager (video available here).

    Great. 

    So, for backups, I need to save the .dat files only. Scratch the .cab

     

    Right?

    Hello martialb3, 

    I´d use the *.cab files for backup, as they are much smaller than the installed *.dat files. 
    Disadvantage: You´ll have to install from there, which takes a bit longer than copying *.dat files.

    So: It depends on what´s more important to you: Speed or space 😉

    Best,
    Paul
