First ensure that you have the installer for the full version and your license key. Both are available within your maintenance period in our customer area.

You can now uninstall our software on your old computer and install it on your new computer. An explcit license deactivation is not necessary.

If you would like to move your user settings from your old computer to your new computer as well, please open the application (File) menu of TreeSize and open the sub menu of the "Options" dialog (small arrow to the right). In the sub menu, please select "Export". A dialog will open that lets you chose a target destination for the TreeSize settings file.

After copying the settings file to the new computer, open TreeSize and open the options sub menu again. Now click "Import" and select the settings file.

You can do this with the command line switch "/DATE"

This switch will add the current date to all file names occurring after it on the command line. This is useful if you want to do scans regularly every night or every weekend. If you want the date included in all filenames, then /DATE should be your first command line option. The following example will scan the network path \host\share and save the result to a file like C:\scans\name_03-12-20_1550.xls:

Treesize.exe /DATE /EXCEL "C:\scans\name.xls" "\\host\share"

Use "Help > Check for update" to find out if thereis a newer versions available and to install it.

You can download new versions within your maintenance period for free. If your maintenance expired you can renew it also in our customer area.

What you describe is exactly what TreeSize does. The last change date of a folder that Treesize shows is the "latest" last change date of all files in the whole subtree. In contrast to this, the Windows Explorer only takes direct sub-files into account when calculating the last change date of a folder. So the date shown in Treesize may differ from the date shown in the Windows Explorer, but is more accurate.

TreeSize is not available for non-Windows systems, but can scan such system through SSH or by using a Samba server.

There are no explicit limitations in what TreeSize is able to scan. The more folders and files the file system tree you want to scan has, the more free memory will be necessary to store the queried data. You can reduce the memory consumption by turning off some statistics.

We typically support those Windows versions that are under support by Microsoft. You can find a full list on our homepage.

You can use the right click menu and select "Show files of this date interval" to open the file search and automatically list allf files of the selected interval.
