Howdy,
Has anyone had success with moving their entire FG install to another PC? (laptop)
If so, how do you recommend I do it?

Howdy,

Install on new PC, copy entire campaign, extensions, & modules folder from following location.
"<User>\AppData\Roaming\Fantasy Grounds"
And you should be good.
if the tokens are in modules you might have to activate them again. tokens -> modules -> select and activate
dont forget to set your STeam and Forum details in Settings so that DLC can be downloaded.
Don't do this. A number of people have reported campaign/data corruption when their FG data directory was pointed at a cloud sync service like Google Drive, DropBox, OneDrive, etc..
You can do manual backups to Google Drive in order to transfer data from one computer to another, but don't use Google Drive directly on your FG App Data directories.
I would stick with your local harddrive... at the beginning or end of each session zip up the campaign that you have just played and copy that to your favourite cloud storage location.
What if I have no access to the computer that crashed. I have a new computer but the download will not work. It says I am in Demo mode. I have a license key. Where would I find this other information?
Thank you,
Bart
Welcome to the forums, sorry your'e having issues getting your new computer up and runnning.
Your license key is available from the Store link at the top of wesbite -> Order History -> <the order you placed to buy the license>
Put this in the FG Settings window and then run an update.
