If you are using a network license, then the configuration file is stored in the directory where FCS Express.exe is located.

If you are using a standalone license:

  • On Windows 2000 and XP, go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\De Novo Software. There will be a subdirectory there with the specific name of the version of FCS Express you purchased. The config file is in the subdirectory.
  • On Windows Vista and 7, go to C:\ProgramData\De Novo Software\. There will be a subdirectory there with the specific name of the version of FCS Express you purchased. The config file is in the subdirectory. Please note that ProgramData is often a hidden folder.
