I am moving P3D and Spadnext to a new PC. I will uninstall Spadbext first on the old on. I gues my license is working with a new installation on the new PC. But how can I move my old profiles and settings of the hardware from the old to the new PC?

I'm pretty sure you just need to copy the folder "C:\Users\<Your Profile Name>\Documents\SPAD.neXt\profiles" and paste it into the same location on the new PC.

I just recently moved mine as well.

In the settings of SPAD next you have a location for the profiles that you can point it too. So if you copy the old profiles folder over to the new computer and then point span to it you are good to go.

IN the profiles section of Span.next you also have the ability to "map" the devices to the correct hardware. Since I use a few Arduino units these were mapped incorrectly due to the new PC and SPAD having new IDs for them....I renamed them in the new computer and then pointed the correct device to the correct arduino and now all of the devices seem to have their programming just fine -- My only issue is on my FIPs since they seem to have the hard coding of the file path in the profile xml.....since my user names were different it also caused an issue with just putting them in the same location on the desktop.....So those I have to redo from scratch which is not perfect as I did have a lot of settings especially with the FIP Gauges BIPs
