Migrate from Version Cue 1.0 to Version Cue 2.0
If you currently use Version Cue 1.0, you need to migrate your projects and user data to Version Cue 2.0. Keep the
following in mind:
• Version Cue 1.0 and Version Cue 2.0 Workspaces can be installed and function on the same computer (using
different ports) simultaneously.
• If Version Cue 1.0 and Version Cue 2.0 Workspaces are installed on the same computer, Adobe Creative Suite 1.0
components and Acrobat 7 work only with the Version Cue 1.0 Workspace, because they can communicate only
with the port that the Version Cue 1.0 Workspace uses.
Note:
If you uninstall the Version Cue 1.0 Workspace and then restart the Version Cue 2.0 Workspace, the Version Cue
2.0 Workspace then uses the Version Cue 1.0 Workspace’s port, allowing Adobe Creative Suite 1.0 components, Adobe
Creative Suite 2.0 components, and Acrobat 7 and 8 to work with the Version Cue 2.0 Workspace.
• If only the Version Cue 2.0 Workspace is installed, Adobe Creative Suite 1.0 components and Acrobat 7 will work
with it.
• Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 components and Acrobat 8 work only with Version Cue 2.0 Workspaces.
• Adobe Creative Suite 1.0 components and Acrobat 7 work with both Version Cue 1.0 and Version Cue 2.0
Workspaces simultaneously as long as the workspaces are not located on the same computer.
• You can import Version Cue 1.0 projects and users using the Version Cue Administration utility.
1 After installing Version Cue 2.0, restart the Version Cue 1.0 Workspace. This activates a migration plug-in.
2 Log in to the Version Cue Administration utility.
3 Click the Advanced tab, and then click Import Version Cue 1.0 Data.
4 Select the data you’d like to migrate to Version Cue 2.0:
• Projects and users. Click Next. Select the check box next to the names of any projects you want to import, and click
Next. Then, select the check box next to the names of any users you want to import, and click Next.
• Only projects. Click Next. Then, select the individual projects you want to import, and choose whether to import
all the users assigned to those projects (at this point, you cannot select individual users; you must import either all
users or no users). Click Next. If you choose to import the users, select the users you want to import, and click Next.
• Only users. Click Next, and, in the next page, select the check box next to the names of any users you want to
import.
5 When the migration process is complete, verify the information you’re importing, and confirm the migration.
6 Uninstall Version Cue 1.0.

Manage Version Cue projects
You can duplicate or delete Version Cue projects in the Version Cue Administration utility, as well as remove file
locks and delete file versions.
Duplicate a project to start a new project with the same users and privileges. Version Cue duplicates the folder
hierarchy within the project structure, and you can use that as a basis for the new project. Delete any files from the
duplicated project that are no longer necessary.
A user with system administrator privileges or with project-specific administer privileges can remove file locks.
Removing file locks forces the removal of the In Use status of files designated by specific project or by users
throughout all the projects.
Delete file versions to improve performance. Each time you save a file version, the version is stored on the Version
Cue Workspace database. This database creates a file version history that lets you quickly return to any former state
of the file. Although a version history is useful, an extensive history takes up a lot of disk space and can degrade the
performance of the Version Cue Workspace.

Export Version Cue projects
You can export the most recent version of all project files from the Version Cue Workspace. You can use this export
to move these files from one host computer (or server) to another or to create a package of the most recent files for
output or simply to create an archive of the final versions. Version Cue still manages projects moved between
computers.
If you want to move a project, you should decide whether to back it up (so that all past versions are also moved) or
export (so that only the current versions of project files are moved). For more information about backing up a
project, see “Back up and restore projects” on page 543.

Back up and restore projects
The Version Cue Administration utility creates backups of all the information in a Version Cue project. Project
backups are stored on the Version Cue file system, in the Backups folder. You can then easily restore a backup copy
that represents a Version Cue project as it was on a specific date. Restored project backups do not replace the original
Version Cue project; restored projects are given different project names. You can use a project backup to move a
project from one Version Cue Workspace to another while retaining all the versions of that project.
You can customize a backup configuration for your projects. You can back up a project using a new configuration or
an existing configuration. A backup configuration includes the ability to schedule a recurring backup for the project.
It’s important to back up projects in a Version Cue Workspace from time to time. Rather than doing this project by
project, you can instead back up the complete Version Cue Workspace. You can also use this backup to move a
complete workspace from one computer to another. If you restore a backup copy of the Version Cue Workspace, all
current data on the workspace, including Version Cue projects, files, and versions, is replaced by the backup.
Workspace backup files are saved to the default Backups folder in the Version Cue application folder.
To replace current projects on a Version Cue Workspace with a previous version, you first restore the backup. When
you do this, Version Cue Administration turns off automatically. You must restart Version Cue on the host
workspace; it cannot be done remotely.
