PlayIt Manager PlayIt Live Share this FAQ

Can a database created under PlayIt Manager be exported to run on a standalone backup instance of PlayIt Live?

Yes, you can transfer a database from PlayIt Manager to run on a standalone PlayIt Live instance by copying the database file directly.

To do this, copy the file playit.db from C:\ProgramData\PlayIt Manager to C:\ProgramData\PlayIt Live and rename it to playitlive.db. Ensure both PlayIt Manager and PlayIt Live are closed and not running before performing this operation.

This method creates a standalone backup instance that operates independently of the original PlayIt Manager system. The transferred database will contain all your tracks, clocks, and scheduling data, though you'll need to ensure the audio files are accessible at the file paths referenced in the database or use PlayIt Live's Missing Track File Analysis feature under Tools to resolve any path issues.
