Copying Sage 50 Payroll configuration file from old pc to new pc

SOLVED

Hi Support/Community,

I have got Sage 50 Payroll installed on old pc and having a lot of companies data which are sitting on the server.

Now i have got new pc and install latest sage 50 payroll software.

Is there way that i don't need to do manual adding those companies?

Thanks 

Regards,

Aung

    Hi,

    Thanks for using Sage City Slight smile

    I notice this query has slipped through without a community response, sorry for the late reply but I thought I’d pop something back to you :)

    I expect this is completed now, but for future reference, there is a way to do this. You would need to:

    • Install the payroll software on the new PC and ensure it has access to the server.
    • On the old PC, log into any company in Sage 50cloud Payroll and click help then about. Click the link for the Settings Directory. 
    • Copy Payroll.usr and Pay.usr from the settings directory. Transfer these to the same path on the new PC C:\ProgramData\Sage\Payroll
    • Open Sage 50cloud payroll and you'll have all the companies listed :)
