Welcome.

You've probably not transferred the "active" BaseStation.sqb file.

A couple of questions:


This will be a simple fix.

Thanks.  Since your BaseStation installations are in the default ProgramFiles locations, the dreaded VirtualStore is in play.

Basically, there are "hidden" files in the VirtualStore, such as the BaseStation.sqb file.  The one that's visible in ProgramFiles is a "ghost" empty file.  Google VirtualStore for more information.  Better than me trying to explain here.

You need to copy the sqb file from the old PC VirtualStore and place in the same location on the new laptop.

Please get back if you need more help.
