Hi Hank:

Here is the "official" guide on moving LOGic to a new computer.
http://www.hosenose.com/...de-to-LOGic.aspx#post13
Long story short, copy the LOGic folder, install the LOGic distribution and the latest update, and have at it.

The band table is in logdata\bandmstr.dbf & logdata\bandmstr.fpt

When transferring tables, do a CLEAN UP INDEXES AND TEMPORARY FILES. If there are any structural changes between versions, this process will hopefully restructure the tables.

Let me know if any questions. Enjoy the new computer.

Tnx & 73,

Vin, the only way this would work is if you booted from the external drive. Without doing that, all the registry entries that Logic makes are missing.

After many months of 'wanting' to migrate LOGic9 to a new computer, and never actually doing it, my hard drive crashed and I've lost many months of contacts

I sent the hard drive to a professional data retrieval company, but they are not having any luck because my hard drive is so old.

Lesson is...BACK UP OFTEN !!!!!!!!

My last back up was in early 2017 but since that backup, I have made thousands of contacts. Even if I load LOGic9 on my new laptop, I will have lost several months of QSO's, some that I needed for DXCC.

I have no idea what to do now. Do I start over or load LOGic9 on my new laptop, set it up, import my last backup and go from there?

What happens to my LoTW confirmations? How do I get a new LoTW certificates and what happens to my old LoTW count?

Hi Peter,

What will I lose not having my band table?

I uploaded my log to LoTW the day or two before I lost my hard drive. I 'should' have all my contacts uploaded (fingers crossed).

I have a 4 TB external drive that has my last backup. The laptop has a DVD burner and I have a 50 pack of DVD's

I need to find my last version of LOGic9 and install the latest update.

It's going to be a major project.

Thanks,
Vin, 73

I don't think K1VC is actually concerned about his band table -- he just posted to this thread because it was relevant. The default band table will at least allow him to recover and view his log data.

Vin, we recently added an option to LOGic's LoTW import to recover the log. You should be able to get everything that you ever uploaded to LoTW. The data available is sparse, but you will have enough to consider it a legitimate QSO.

It is a simple matter to locate the log data on Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, etc. Not only that, it is an easy way to share data between computers. Just follow the documentation on locating the date elsewhere -- look for Networking and Multiple Databases in help, or here:

Just locate it at a location covered by OneDrive or whatever. I can put together a little video if anyone is interested.

Here is a video on locating your data on the cloud for continuous automatic backup.

Pse subscribe to our YouTube channel while you are there, if you haven't already.

When you install the latest update, what DLL does it say is missing?

The CD is rather old. There have probably been breaking changes to the CD with respect to new data structures etc.

Do this: Install the latest update on top of the installation that is giving you problems.

If that doesn't work, then do a new fresh install using the latest update. Uninstall everything, delete the LOGic folder, then install the latest update. Copy your logic.license file from your old machine into the new c:\program files (x86)\logic folder. You should now have a working copy of LOGic.

Import or copy your data, screens, etc. as her this post:

Let me know.

Dennis, how do I download the latest LOGic update without doing it through the program? Is there a link?

Also, where is the license file? I copied the LOGIC.LICENSE file but it did not work, dated 2014.
