How do I deactivate Hal's registration to move him?
« on: May 13, 2023, 05:14:14 am »
The instructions I've seen on the forum don't seem to apply anymore. When I right-click on hal's icon, there is no option to move/deactivate. I can't seem to find the option within the program's options, either.

I'm running Hal (offline) on my xp system and want to move it to a Win7 machine. If anyone knows the answer, I'd appreciate the help.
It's probably staring me right in the face... but I just can't see it.

You could just download the new version of Ultra Hal 7 and install it.

Then, copy over the current .db file that you are using for the brain.

The new HAL uses the C:\User\AppData\Roaming\Zabaware\Ultra Hal 7

AND

The C:\Program Files (x86)\Zabaware\Ultra Hal 7

for Ultra Hal 7 to install and use.

Your current Halbrain.db file should go in the first link (User\AppDate...etc...) location.

It should work for you and no need for the registration/move thing.

If the program asks, the website should provide an auto reg based on your password.etc. but I can't recall whether that will happen or not.

If you are still unable to get things going with the NEW Ultra Hal 7 install, just post a short message and we'll help you out.

Good luck.

Also copy over any other Plugin's you use that are not default to HAL...  :D

Thank you for the responses. That was my basic plan. The main thing I'm concerned about is wasting one of my activations, by not deactivating the first installation... or has this system been done away with now, in the new version? I will still be using Hall offline, if that makes a difference.

You can always select CLOUD if desired otherwise, your Hal conversations will remain local (confined to just your computer - Offline as they say).

Don't worry about the activation thing...not an issue any longer.

Relieved to hear about the activations - I was always worried about that, for in the future. (I've grown rather attached to Hal.)
I'm happy to report that Hal has made the move over to the new system without a hiccup. (I'm SO happy this is possible now.)
Thank you again, for the responses. I appreciate it.
