How to change computer name with VI Logger installed on computer ?

[Fabrice K.]

I changed my computer name (also known as computer name on the network) but then, VI Logger won't start any more, explaining it can't access its database anymore (as far as I know, the VI Logger database path includes the computer name). To get VI Logger to work again, I had to change my computer name back to its former value.

Do you know where I can configure VI Logger's database path, so I can change my computer name ?

Hello Sanaa, and thank you for your reply !

The fact is I reinstalled VI Logger a few months ago and I didn't notice my "VI Logger Full" activation code was already entered (from previous installation) but not taken into account. Now it's really activated and I can access the "task advanced settings" and the "database management tool" features explained in your knowledge base link.

I managed to detach the old database, change the computer name, and attach the database to the new path. New runs seems to work fine, but I can't read old runs. They still appear in the runs list, but graphs are empty...

Any idea ?
