1. Copy the bb folder from your old laptop to your new one. (e.g. use an USB hard drive to move the entire bb folder (~15 GB). Once you've done that download and install the Band-in-a-Box 2018 Pro (all you need is the main program installer) Install it to the bb folder you copied there.

Or another possibility but more work:

2. Install your 2012 MegaPAK from the disc onto your new laptop. Then download the Pro upgrade files from your account and install over top of that.

Since you have the 2018 Pro version currently, you are eligible for any 2019 upgrade from previous version, including the UltraPAK upgrade. (If you got the UltraPAK upgrade, you would no longer need your previous discs/files at all, since it includes everything you already had).


Thank you for that clear and concise summary of my options. I am going to try option 2, but first, I will have to delete the 2018 Pro that I installed. I will check back to let you know how it worked out!

What a Godsend BIAB is!!
