If MesNews is already installed you need only to copy the default folder to your removable device.

The program can create independent destination disks that together form your backup archive.

USB memory sticks or flash drives are currently available with from as low as 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB to 1 GB storage capacity. They are available in a variety of storage sizes for different needs. For reference, a 64MB memory stick/flash drive more or less equal the storage capacity by about 44 traditional floppy disks, and 1 GB USB memory stick/flash drive can hold about 120 songs in MP3 format.

A standard floppy disc can hold 1.44 MB, which is many times less storage space than a USB flash drive. A 64MB flash drive is equal in data storage of about 44 floppy disks. Apart from this clear advantage, a flash memory based memory stick is magnetization proof, unlike traditional floppies, last longer (its memory, at least the erasable portion, can be reused for about 1,000,000 times and the data stored can lat up to 10 years.

Make a 'key.dat' file (see below) in the same directory as the PerformanceTest executable file (pt.exe). That's it, you're finished. PerformanceTest should now run from a CD or USB memory stick and pick up the license information automatically. Using the Windows Start / Run menu option you can for example enter the following 'd:\pt.exe' (specifying the appropriate drive letter) to start PerformanceTest from the CD or USB memory stick. Save the file in the same directory as pt.
