Before reinstalling the PDD software, please back up the PDD data file. All of your entered pets, recipes, and user-defined foods/supplements can be found in one file.
To copy the data file to a thumb drive, follow the instructions below:
1) In Windows Explorer, type %appdata% (with the percent signs) in the menu bar and press Enter. You will go to the “application data” folder.
2) Scroll to the bottom and look for a file called “pdd03.sdf”. When you find this file, just copy it. This file contains all your data.
3) Uninstall the PDD software program.
4) Download and install PDD from the link provided in your download email.
5) After reinstalling, check to see if your data still exists. It should. If not, then go to Step 6.
6) In Windows Explorer, type %appdata% (with the percent signs) in the menu bar and press Enter. You will go to the “application data” folder. Copy the old data file (pdd03.sdf) to this directory and choose to overwrite the existing data file that was created when you installed PDD. You should now have all of the data for your pets and recipes.
Reapply the license key (via the link in your license key email) if needed.
