I'm glad several of you have found the Wiki steps useful. I'm hoping to get this method down accurately, since when I tried it several months ago, it was quite daunting without any info available (thanks to Steven, who really helped me though at that time).

I added letters to the paragraphs, so that anyone referring to the procedure could specify the paragraph letter & line number (ie: "step B-2").

Thanks Kevin & Ches, I changed this step in the Wiki.

This is a good observation. I included this in the Wiki as an optional step.


Also, has anyone tried to install AC on the new computer using "This computer will be taken off site..." option? I thought that doing this type of install, and then connecting to the old "main computer", and then doing a restore from .enc file on the new computer, would bypass the dummy practice step.

Another question for those of you trying this procedure -- if the new "main computer has the AC client already, must this be uninstalled before using the steps in the Wiki? Please post if you had to do that so I can update the procedure.
