Migrating from DT Personal to DT Pro

DEVONthink Tips
1

Hi, I’m trying to upgrade from DT Personal 1.0 to DT Pro 2.0, but I’m having problems migrating my database.
I’ve managed to transform my DT Personal 1.0 database to a 2.0 database following this topic (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7784).
Now I have my database in DT Personal working flawlessly, but no matter what I try, I cannot upgrade to DT Pro.
I’ve tried to delete the preferences (com.devon-technologies.think2.plist).
I’ve tried to rename the DevonThink 2 folder in Application Support, as sugested in the other topic.
I’ve also installed DT Pro 1.0 and imported the DT Personal database. Then tried to upgrade to DTP 2.0.
No matter what I do, DTP 2.0 does not recognize my database.

Any ideias ?

As the databases of version 2 of DEVONnote & DEVONthink Personal/Pro/Office are absolutely identical (contrary to the databases of v1.x), the easiest solution is probably to append the extension “.dtBase2” to the folder “~/Library/Application Support/DEVONthink 2”. Afterwards you should be able to open this folder with DEVONthink Pro 2 by double-clicking on it.
