Hi, you have to distinguish between your main files and the files that are stored inside the Version Cue Server's database. Actually even if you install VC on your local computer, this will install the Version Cue Server on this computer as well. The Server keeps track of all the Versions and metadata. The server's files are stored in C:\Program Files\Adobe Version Cue CS2\data. This is the one and only repository that contains all your files. The files in your Documents folder are only cache files to improve performance. Once you have your project in a synchronized state you could even go ahead and delete the whole VersionCue folder under MyDocuments and will still be able to access your files through the open dialog of PS for example, because all the files are stored in the VC Server. The easiest way of migrating a VersionCue installation from one system to another, is to go into the admin UI of your local VC server under <http://localhost:3703>, go to the advanced section and create a server backup. This backup file will be located inside your backup folder of the VC server installation under C:\Program Files\Adobe Version Cue CS2\backups\server. Just copy this file to your new computer where you have installed VersionCue and copy it to the same location. Then go into the admin UI of your new computer and in the advanced section choose "Restore server backup". Then your new computer will have the exact same content then your older one. In general when you do not need your original machine for other purposes, you could simply choose to keep the VersionCue installation there and access this machine over the network from your new computer. VC doesn't even have to be installed on your new computer then.
