    I need to move a standalone 2017 proseries installation to a new computer, but the backup utility only allows 2016 and prior.  Any ideas?

    Open HomeBase in 2017, highlight all your clients, then use the Backup option (right click on the highlighted files) in Proseries to backup all the clients (this will keep any PPR information as well) to a flash drive or some other storage device.

    When you have the program installed on the new computer, you will open the program, and use the Restore option to pull all the clients back from your storage device into the new setup.
