Hey,
I need some help to understand what is the best way to migrate from Beer Smith 3.0 to a new computer that I just installed Beer Smith 3.2
I want to make sure that recipes, equipment profiles, ingredients and so that I set on BS 3.0, transfer to 3.2.

How should I do it?

Thanks
 
If you have BeerSmith 3 or higher I recommend installing the latest 3.2 update (or 3.1) on both ends
so you can take advantage of the backup to zip commands

Assuming you have the latest BeerSmith 3.2 running from the BeerSmith.com web site you can:
- On the old machine go to File->Full Backup to Zip and create a zipped backup file of all your data
- Install 3.1 on the new machine and activate it. You can manage your activations and open up a new
slot (if needed) by logging into BeerSmithRecipes.com and going to the profile page. Every license for
BeerSmith 3.2 lets you activate at least two computers at once.
- Move the zip backup file you created from the old to new computer
- On the new computer go to File->Full Recover from Zip to restore your data and settings
