Importing data To import Client, Matter, Appointment, and To Do data exported from existing applications other than an earlier version of Amicus Attorney, use the Amicus Administrator Import feature.

For details on Import, see the Amicus Attorney Administrator Help. Upgrading Amicus Attorney Before Upgrading From Organizer Edition If multiple users of Organizer Edition wish to upgrade into a single Team environment, data that will be shared should be manually synchronized to ensure that it merges smoothly--this includes all lists (File Types, Party Types, etc.), custom pages and fields, Library resources, and precedents. (Contacts with the same first and last name and phone numbers will be merged; as will Files with the same Client and Matter ID.) Make sure that your current Office is not running. Read the Important Upgrade Notes below, and then proceed to install. Before Upgrading From Other Editions 1 If integrated with Amicus Small Firm Accounting, ensure that all users are logged out of Amicus Small Firm Accounting. 2 Ensure that Team Members have unpacked any Secondary Office Briefcases and then gone online. 3 Back up your Amicus database and Templates. 4 Open Amicus Administrator. Request the Team Members to log out and then deny them access from the Users > User Management > Status screen. 5 Choose Unlock All Data from the Users > Recovery Function menu. 6 Choose Scan Database from the Database > Utilities menu. If running with User Access Control (UAC) enabled (e.g. under Windows 7), go to Control Panel > User Accounts, disable UAC, and restart the computer BEFORE performing the Scan Database. You may re-enable UAC afterward. 7 Exit Amicus Administrator. 8 If upgrading from Small Firm 2012 or earlier, then at each workstation running Windows with UAC enabled, you'll need to copy your Amicus.INI file as follows. This enables the upgrade to preserve all Preferences for the Team Member. If under Windows 8 or 10, go to C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows If under another version of Windows, open Windows Explorer, go to C:\WINDOWS, and click Compatibility Files on the toolbar. The \VirtualStore\Windows folder appears. Copy your Amicus.INI file (e.g. AmicusAtt12.INI if upgrading from Version 2012, or AA50.INI if upgrading from Version V+) from that folder to the C:\WINDOWS folder, replacing the file there. 9 Read the Important Upgrade Notes below, and then proceed to install.

Important Upgrade Notes All of your earlier data and settings will be converted upon upgrading Amicus.

QUICKBOOKS INTEGRATION After upgrading, ensure that QuickBooks is running, open Amicus Administrator, and choose QuickBooks > Exchange. In the QuickBooks - Application Certificate dialog that appears, click Yes, Always to permit access to the Company File.

SPELL CHECK USER DICTIONARY Users who wish to keep their previous User Dictionary must transfer those Dictionary entries after upgrading.
