Distributing ID Works Projects
The final steps in setting up production-only ID Works systems
involve exporting the ID Works project from the computer on which it
was designed and importing it on the production-only computers or

these steps.
Exporting ID Works Projects
When you export an ID Works project, you make a Project Export File
containing all the information necessary for the project. See the

network drive or high-capacity removable medium, such as a USB
flash drive.

the project and must be exported separately. See the Online
Reference Library document for your printer for information on
distributing encoder configurations.
Enterprise
Edition Only!
Configurations for biometric devices must be exported separately.
See the Administrator online help topic “Export a biometric device

and Enterprise applications. The import utility creates a directory and
places the restored files in the location specified for project files. See
the ID Works Administrator online help topic “Import a project” for
step-by-step instructions.
Magnetic stripe configurations are not stored with ID Works projects.
Therefore, the Export utility in ID Works Administrator does not
