1. Deactivate the current PC from your cloud account. Navigate to the OpenField Cloud - Settings - My Account. Under OpenField activation status, click ‘deactivate this computer’ for any PC that is currently activated.
   
   

2. Rename the Catapult Sports folder on the old PC. Navigate to My Documents - Catapult Sports and rename the Catapult Sports folder to CatapultSports.old.
   
   

3. Move the Database and Retriever folders from the old PC to the new PC via an external hard drive. Navigate to the old PC - My Documents - Catapult Sports - OpenField. Copy (DO NOT CUT) across the 'Database' and 'Retriever' folders to the external hard drive. 

4. You will also need to bring across your 'User.txt' file via the external hard drive. Navigate to the old PC - My Documents - Catapult Sports - OpenField - Resources - 'User.txt' File. Copy (DO NOT CUT) across this file onto the external hard drive. If you do not have this file in your Resources folder, please skip this step.

7. Copy the 'User.txt' file copied in step 4. On the new PC, navigate to My Documents - Catapult Sports - OpenField - Resources and paste in this file. Please note, that you will need to close and open the console to view these changes. If you did not have this file in your old PC's Resources folder, please skip this step.
