AtanaSuite saves preferences, connection, history, cache and repository information in a folder on the installation computer. At times it may be necessary to copy this information to a new computer to save time re-entering and populating this information.

For AtanaSuite Essential, Professional, Expert and Enterprise installations, these settings are stored in the Users > {username} > AppData > Local > Atanasoft > AtanaSuite folder. {username} is substituted with the users name.

For AtanaSuite Complete, Advanced and Vantage Query installations, these settings are stored in the Users > {username} > AppData > Local > Atanasoft > {product name} folder. {username} is substituted with the users name. {product name} is substituted with the installed product name, so AtanaSuite Complete, AtanaSuite Advanced or AtanaSuite Vantage Query.

We recommend creating a zip file of the folder contents and transferring the zipped file to the new computer. Unzip the file in the same folder on the new computer.
