Yes, of course. If you have the old version of program and want to store the old users list, log file and screenshots then open Options window in old version of the program and push the button “Prepare for uninstall”. Then WITHOUT rebooting the PC run the setup.exe of the new version. Skip ALL system messages (like “Service Time Boss srv… Code:1073…”). Reboot the PC. You can also save the configuration to some file (File->Save configuration to file) and then load it. For Windows Vista and Windows 7: If the button “Prepare for uninstall” is disabled then run time_boss.exe with administrators rights. To do that, choose “Hide” in Time Boss tray icon popup menu. Then open Time Boss with administrators rights ( Run->Program files->Time Boss->time_boss.exe->right mouse click) and choose “Run as administrator” from popup menu.
