Solar Accounts Setup During Mac Rebuild

Hi.

I am planning on rebuilding my mac studio os soon. How do I set-up solar accounts for a new system? Do I just download the software from the web site and then log back in with the same user ID?

Thanks.

Hi Peter,

It looks like you are using Solar Accounts in 'offline' mode, so it is
important that you ensure you make a copy of your data and verify the copy
before you wipe your hard drive. The simplest way to do that is to store
your data online as follows:

  1. Log in and click menu File > Data Location > In The Cloud, then click OK

  2. Generate a sharing code as described here
    <https://www.solaraccounts.co.uk/help/how-to-share-financial-data-with-your-accountant>
    and email it to me.

I will then check that your data was uploaded correctly and confirm that
it's OK to proceed with wiping your hard drive.
