Upgrading from Studiometry Express directly to Studiometry Cloud

Studiometry Express is distributed on the Mac App Store and has a limited subset of Studiometry's features.

Studiometry Cloud is a subscription-based service that includes access to the full version of Studiometry, along with many other web-based and syncing features.

Studiometry Cloud requires the full, non-App-Store version of Studiometry to function. But you can import your data from Studiometry Express if you'd like to make the switch.

It's a pretty simple process to upgrade, and you don't need to pay any additional upgrade fees or upgrade your Express license to full Studiometry license. An active Cloud account will act as your Studiometry license and your Studiometry Touch licenses as well.

To upgrade, just select one computer as the main machine to upload your database from. We recommend just using your current server machine.

1. Download and install Studiometry
2. Find your Studiometry Express data and copy it somewhere easily accessible, such as a folder on your desktop. The default data location for Studiometry Express data is ~/Library/Application Support/com.orangedsoftware.studiometryexpress
3. Launch Studiometry 16 while holding the option key, click Choose Folder, and then select the folder you copied the data to in step 2.
4. When you launch the app, you will get a free 30 day trial of Studiometry. If it does not, click Reset Trial and then repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
5. Select Cloud Menu > Enable Studiometry Cloud, and sign up for a new account
6. You'll then have a free 30 day trial of Studiometry Cloud
7. Select Cloud Menu > Manage Cloud account, then log in with your admin email and password (you can also just go directly to https://cloud.oranged.net to log in)
8. Click Billing Info, and then enter your billing information into the account

Once all of that is done, your account will be completely set up and you'll be able to keep using Studiometry Cloud.

You can connect other machines by upgrading to 16.x and connecting them to your Cloud account using Cloud Menu > Enable Studiometry Cloud and selecting Connect to Existing Cloud.

If you have an issue uploading your data, or if you have any issue with a "trial expiration" message in Studiometry, please open a support ticket and we'll resolve those issues for you.
