nicholab Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 How do you copy all the important A2C stuff so that you can replicate it to a stand alone laptop? I need to sort so I can go on Holiday during August?
BKGarry Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 I am afraid you can only have your a2c keys installed on one machine, so if you go onto a laptop that will me the machine that has to do the synchronisation all the time.
robk Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 @BKGarry beat me to it. How about remote desktop to your normal work desktop? That way your exams data does not have to reside on a portable device that could get lost etc.

3s-gtech Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 We have two sets of keys, so we use RD to access one install remotely. As mentioned, this is a far better idea with this sort of data.
nicholab Posted November 21, 2017 Author Posted November 21, 2017 How do I get a second key if I want the laptop setup as spare? I not doing the download I just looking to have a backup for the exams offices for when I am on Holiday. Also what needs to be backed up for moving to Windows 10?
robk Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 I think as far as moving computers you can get the exam boards to reissue a new certificate but that invalidates the old one.
nicholab Posted November 21, 2017 Author Posted November 21, 2017 This is rubbish how do you have a spare of this system?
robk Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 I suspect the point is you don't have a spare copy. But keep the exam officers secure site logins safe.. That's what we have ended up doing.
Linfit Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 You can get a new set of keys from exam boards at any time. So if you want to have two machines with the ability to download results, if you do two installs from scratch, download keys from each board and install the same keys on both machines, both should work. What you can't do, is install one, then later get another set of keys and install another - the new keys will replace the old ones.
pete Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 Our A2C installs point to \\server\sims\ExamConfig for their config, which is secured appropriately.
