 Please make sure you follow these instructions in the correct order. Many problems with moving installations are because people have thought we have got it wrong, and so do things in a different (incorrect) order.
-If you want, we can do this move for you via remote access. The charge for us to do that is currently [[http://www.pscs.co.uk/buynow/buy.php?item=ASSTMOVE|£30 (+ VAT)]]. If you want us to do this, make sure that it is possible to copy files between the PCs on your network (or have copied all the necessary files beforehand). Copying the files over the Internet to our office and then back again is not feasible given the large amounts of data that can be present.
