Upgrade Home Cookin Recipe Software


  1. Download the new trial version. (The trial version is also used to upgrade registered programs.)
  2. Open the installation program, and follow the prompts to install.
  3. Double-click the desktop icon to open Home Cookin.
  4. If you renewed your registration, click the Activation button on the Options screen to enter your new code.

Transfer Your Recipes

Home Cookin will normally locate your old version automatically and transfer your recipes to the new version. However, you may search for them manually if you do not see your recipes listed in the recipe index.

  1. Click the Index tab. If your recipes are already listed in the index, stop here. Your upgrade is complete.

    Proceed with the following steps only if you do not see your recipes in the index.
  2. Click the Options tab.
  3. Click the Restore button.
  4. Click the Search button. Home Cookin will scan your hard drives for older installations.
  5. Select the folder you want to restore your recipes from, then click the OK button.
When you are confident everything is working well in the new version, you may uninstall any old versions using the "Uninstall a Program" applet in Windows control panel ("Add or Remove Programs" applet on Windows XP).
