Upgrading to Suitcase Fusion 3
Upgrading from a previous version of Suitcase is a simple process.
Before you install Suitcase Fusion 3, remove any previously installed auto-activation plug-ins. Any auto-activation
plug-ins from other font managers, including previous versions of Suitcase, can conflict with the new plug-ins in
Suitcase Fusion 3.
When you install Suitcase Fusion 3, you may want to import all of your old previous Suitcase data into the new
installation, since this does not happen automatically. This includes all of your fonts, sets and other information.
When you import data into Suitcase Fusion 3, the following are imported from earlier versions of Suitcase for
Windows:
• All fonts in your Font Vault.
• All references to fonts added in-place.
• Your entire Suitcase Fusion 2 or Suitcase for Windows database, including all sets.
Because the import process checks all fonts for integrity, if you added any fonts to a previous version of Suitcase
Fusion from removable media, such as DVDs, flash drives, or external hard disks, you will need to have these
available during the import process.
NOTE: Importing will only function properly on data from Suitcase Fusion version 11.0 or newer.
If you have multiple users on the same computer, you must perform the Import Fusion Database command to
migrate each user's data.
To import your previous database:
1. Close the previous version of Suitcase.
2. Launch Suitcase Fusion 3.
3. Choose Tools > Import Suitcase for Windows Data. If this menu item is disabled, a previous database
was not located.
4. When prompted, insert any external media or mount any necessary network drives requested by Suitcase
Fusion 3.
5. At the end of the import process, you are given the option to view the import log. This file tells you if any of
your fonts failed to import, and if there were any other errors in the import process.
NOTE: If you stop the import process, Suitcase Fusion 3 retains all data imported up to the point that the import
process was stopped. To import the remaining data, restart the import process. Suitcase Fusion 3 automatically
knows if the fonts and data have already been imported and does not create duplicates in your new Font Vault.
