Import Registry Entries

If you intend to configure several workstations, you can save time by importing Optim™ Directory registry data and the Product License Key from a file.

Note: Before you can import registry data, you must export the data to a file. You can export the data during the process of configuring the first workstation, or you can select Export Registry Data from the File menu on the Configuration main window.

You can import registry data during the process of configuring an additional workstation, or you can select Import Registry Data from the File menu. The Import Optim Directory Registry Data dialog is used to import registry entries and license information.
