help on moving files

Dear DB support,

I have simulated files on one computer and I'd like to move on to another computer without re-simulate everything. How to do it? I used to be able to do so, until I've just updated the DB recently.

BTW, another computer has exactly the same version (DB1.5.0.061 and E+ 2.2).
I noticed that when I saved the file.. it said compressing and the file size is much smaller than when in the previous version.

Thank you in advance.

DesignBuilder will always delete results if the version number of the program is different from the version of the program that last saved the file. So if you need to preserve the simulation results you must use the same version number on your second computer as on your first.

DB has always compressed it's dsb files, it's just that recent beta versions are displaying a message to say it is happening.

The usual reason for large dsb files is lots of hourly or sub-hourly results being stored.
