You can transfer Ace Payroll to another computer by installing it, and then restoring a backup from your old computer. This procedure transfers all of your data, so you can continue processing your payroll as normal.

To transfer Ace Payroll to another computer

Back up your payroll data files from your old computer in the same way you do every pay period. We recommend using a memory stick for your backup. You can also use the Internet backup service.
On your new computer, install Ace Payroll. Insert the CD or download the software from the Ace Payroll website, run the installation wizard, and follow it up to step 3.
Make sure you have your serial number handy if you are using a CD.
At step 4 in the installation, click the New Computer button, then follow the rest of the instructions.
On your new computer, insert the USB stick you saved the last backup to.
Open Ace Payroll.
From the front screen click Utilities then Restore From Backup. The Make Another Backup? window appears.
Click GO. The Restore Data Files window appears
Click Setup, then on the left side of the window expand your USB drive and click the name of your backup folder.
Click GO to close the window.
In the Restore Data Files window, click GO to restore your data.
The Backup & Data File Report window opens. Click GO.
From the front screen, click Setup then Register This Program. Ace Payroll asks for a four digit Version Registration Code.

If you don't have your registration code, give our help desk a call on 0800 223 729 to receive it.

Alternatively you can email us at team@acepay.co.nz with the following details:
- The serial number of your program
- Your company name exactly as you have entered it
- The check number showing on screen.
To make sure your data has been restored correctly, we recommend looking at a few reports such as the One Off Report or the Summary Report.
