2.Move the database folder (including the natives folder) to the new location.

3.Open the Concordance Desktop Admin Console. See Opening the Admin Console.

5.Close the Admin Console.

6.Open the database in Concordance Desktop. See Opening a database.

7.Update the path to the Native files. See Renaming file paths and folders.

8.Reindex the database. See Indexing and reindexing updates (This step may not be necessary, but suggested).

9.Run the CreateHyperlinks CPL. See CreateHyperlinks.
