Portable version issues

Q: My EPIM is very slow on my USB stick. How can I boost it?  

A: EPIM speed depends on your USB stick speed. Try to empty Trash and delete old unnecessary items. You can also try to optimize the database (File -> Database management -> Optimize). These measures should boost performance. Try also to reformat the USB drive.

Q: Can I use portable EPIM as desktop EPIM?  

A: This is not recommended, although you can try. Just unzip portable version to your hard drive and run EssentialPIM.exe from program folder.

Q: Why do I get a "Cannot write key information" error when trying to enter the key?  

A: This happens on some portable versions when the user wants to apply a new license key. Prior to applying the new key, exit EPIM, erase the "EssentialPIM.ini" file in EPIM installation directory and re-start EPIM. It will accept key.  

Q: EPIM asks for my license code each time I open the program from a different computer. How do I prevent this?

A: It is because you've installed the desktop version instead of portable. Download the correct version from our web site please - http://www.essentialpim.com/get-epim.
