INSTALLING CHESS KING ON A MAC
If you’re doing a clean install, simply copy the app to the
Application folder. Launch and follow the instructions in the
installation program. You will need your serial number and to
have internet turned on when installing. Best to turn off antivirus software when installing.
You will find the Chess King app in
your Application Folder. You can drag
it to your dock for fast access.
Drag the Chess King
app icon onto your
Application folder
• Make sure your version of Chess King is compatible with your operating
system, you can find latest versions and upgrade possibilities (free and
major) on www.chessking.com. The current newest versions are Chess
King Standard, Silver and Gold.
• Since version 4.2 compatible with OS 10.10 Yosemite the games and
settings are saved in the Application Support folder which you can
find at ~/Library/Application Support/ChessKing. If you upgrade from
an earlier version for example 4.1 (the version on the DVD Chess King
4 for Mac), make sure to run the Chess King Migration Utility before
installing the new Chess King 2015 version, this will copy your settings,
activation and games to your Application Support folder. You can also
export from Chess King and backup your personal games database as
a PGN file and save it separately from Chess King. If you already had
Chess King 4.2 for Mac then you already have the Application Support
Folder and it will not be replaced so you don’t have to worry just install
the new version. It’s a good idea regularly to make a backup of your
personal game database in PGN format and if you wish also your folder
~/Library/Application Support/ChessKing.
