CoinManage FAQ

 

Answers to the most frequent CoinManage questions:

1. I have a laptop and desktop computer, I would like to use CoinManage on both computers.  Is this allowed?  If so, how can I do this?

You can install the program on more than one machine as long as only 1 person will be using the program at a time.  CoinManage uses a file called COINDESC.MDB that contains all the text data in the program.  If you want to switch between computers, you can set your data folder to an external hard drive or USB flash drive and connect the drive to whichever computer you are currently using.  

If you select (File > Go to Data Folder),

Go To Data Folder

the program will open the Windows folder that contains the CoinManage COINDESC.MDB file. 

Note that changing the data folder using the Preferences (Tools > Preferences) will not copy the data file over to the newly selected folder, you must do this manually.

 You should also set the Coin Images folder to a location on the external device.  The Coin Images folder contains any images that you have attached to stamps entered into a collection.
