Upgrading from Smart Shooter 5

How to migrate your data from Smart Shooter 5

Smart Shooter 6 can be installed alongside Smart Shooter 5. The two versions will not interfere with each other, and you can continue to use Smart Shooter 5 while evaluating Smart Shooter 6.

Data Migration

When Smart Shooter 6 is launched for the first time, it will detect any existing Smart Shooter 5 installation and offer to migrate your data. This includes:

  • Camera names and serial number associations

  • Camera presets

Note

The migration is a one-time operation. After the migration is complete, changes made in Smart Shooter 5 will not be reflected in Smart Shooter 6, and vice versa.
