How to do a conversion of Unity Desktop to Unity Real Time?

In order to convert the database from Unity Desktop to Unity Real Time an archive must be made from the Unity Desktop program. Please use the following steps to create an archive file.

Make Archive from Unity Desktop

1. Log in to Unity Desktop.
2. Click on Tools.
3. Click on Utilities.
4. Click on Archive/Restore.
5. Select Archive.

8. Uninstall the Unity Desktop program using Add/Remove programs.
9. Go to Regedit and delete the BioRad Laboratories key.
   

After the Unity Desktop program is uninstalled, the next step is to install the Unity Real Time application and database. After the program is installed, the archived file should be restored and the database installation should be re-run to complete the conversion process.
