Considering Fences 5, currently have Fences 4

Looking into upgrade method

March 15, 2024 3:46 PM from

Rather simple question really. I looked in the FAQ's but never found this question being answered.

With Fences 4 installed. When installing Fences 5, will it save and use the same settings I currently have for 4, or will it require setting it up again back to the way I currently have it?

Fences 5 should be able to pickup your old setting from Fences 4. I installed over my Fences 4 when I install Fences 5 and it pick up Fences 4 setting without issue. Just make sure to reboot after installation. However it also best practice to use this guide to back up your layout snapshots. https://forums.stardock.com/486084/fences-support-faq#backupsnapshots
