You have to tell the software the configuration is there. Click the AddLink on the top right and browse to the folder to put the config in.

You should be good. You might want to make sure you copied all the necessary folders. Configurations can be deployed in several different ways and if you dont understand the deployment then its highly probable you could be missing some key folders with .ini and .map files.

i would suggest you zip the database before copying it as it reduces the risk of files not saving over which can happen.

also if your jobs or NC files need to be saved to a specific location then you will have to go in to edit configuration and change the file paths on the new database location. you can do this by going to the below location on your pc.
