Install NM Gun Collector Software on a removable Memory Card or USB Flash Drive.

With constantly changing technology my customers keep me on my toes. One very useful approach that I recently developed for a friend of mine with a very large collection is setting up NM Gun Collector Software to run on a memory card (or USB Flash Drive). The advantages of this approach are many but his biggest concern was security. Using this approach he can keep his data locked up when not using it. As an additional bonus he can easily work on the same database either on his desktop or his notebook computer with no worry of inconsistent or lost data.

NOTES:

· I give individuals permission to use NM Gun Collector Software on multiple machines – but not to share it with others. Businesses and/or Government Agencies must purchase one copy per machine.

· Technically, the memory card appears on your computer as a “Removable Disk.”

Steps to setup NM Gun Collector Software on a Memory Card:

1. Install NM Gun Collector Software on the C drive of your computer. The purpose of this step is to let the computer know about the program. This step is required for every computer that you intend to run NM Gun Collector Software on.

2. Insert the Memory Card that you want to use into the reading device attached to your computer. It will show up as a Removable Drive.

3. Move (not Copy) the entire NM Gun Collector Software installation directory to the Memory Card. The reason for moving it is to avoid confusion when you go to run the software. This way the program will only run when you have the proper Memory Card installed.

4. Create a shortcut from the nmGunCollector.exe that you just copied (in the NM Gun Collector Software installation directory) to the root directory of your Memory Card Removable Drive. You could also replace the NM Gun Collector Software shortcut on your desktop to this one.

5. You can now run NM Gun Collector Software directly from the memory card and write data to the memory card.
