How do I install my games on another computer

from Stardock Forums
Hi I just subscribed to TGN and download GalCiv. I'd like to install it on another computer but I have no idea how to do so. Seeing how I've already spent most of the day downloading the game I'd rather not redownload the game to my laptop. Is there a way I can transer the files across to the laptop without redownloading the game?

Warmest Regards,

Raven

Right Click the application you'd like, hit Archive to zip, and just move that zip over!

Thanks for that will do so now

btw I have to say I am really addicted to GalCiv, even though the comp is beating me senseless on fool difficulty. Edit Update Stardock Central wont let me archive the games. Instead it wants to redownload them and then archive them. *sighs* I'm sure I'm missing something. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi Raven-sb,
You should be able to rightClick on the app -> Archive Application->Selected Application. That shouldn't re-download the files just archive what you have. The archives will end up in the \Program Files\Stardock\SDCentral\backup folder. Copy that folder to the other machine (either by CD or network or whatever). Then install SDC on the other machine, copy the \backup folder that you saved off to the \program files\stardock\sdcentral\backup folder on the new machine, and then do a File->Restore Archive on the new machine. That should get you all set up.
