reinstalling FL and Launcher to a new computer. - Mr.Jamison - 04-18-2023
Quick question to avoid problems when I replace my computer soon.
Does the Launcher attribute the Launcher accounts to a user based on the Freelancer account information registry string?
Meaning, if I export the account info as a .reg file, and after installing FL on the new computer, can I simply apply that .reg file to the newly installed FL on the new computer so that the Launcher will pick up my user ID and make my existing launcher accounts available without further ado?
Or is there another process to make re-installation painless?

That is the usual process. Make certain you do a full backup of all your accounts by selecting them all, before exporting them. Export them to Google Drive or some cloud based storage as a double backup.

You can export them thru the launch instead of using regedit, right click on the account in the Accounts tab and select Export Selected Accounts
