Q: Can I copy the folder with my data files if I reinstall Web CEO?
A:No, you cannot back up and restore your data files by just copying some files or folders.
Web CEO protects databases where your info and reports are stored. You must not copy or edit them manually or you bear a risk of losing all your data!
The only legal and proper way to backup and restore your data files is to use the DataGuard Wizard available in the Start Menu > Programs > Web CEO > Web CEO DataGuard.
Q: Can I use one license at several locations?
A:You can install and run several copies of Web CEO under one license.
To register Web CEO at your new location using the same account details, install the program, select the 'I'm An Existing User' option in the registration window, and register with the same email and password that were used for the initial registration. You will receive a list of all projects with activated HitLens and/or Monitoring.
To activate HitLens at the new location, enter the master password and make sure that the local copy of your website is the same at both locations; this ensures that two different tracking codes are not inserted into one page from different places.
Please note: you cannot run two copies of Web CEO simultaneously on different machines under one license.
To synchronize the database, backup your database on one PC using our DataGuard utility and restore the database from this backup on another one.
Follow these steps:
- Close Web CEO, and run Web CEO DataGuard by going to Start > Programs > Web CEO > Web CEO DataGuard.
- Click 'Create a backup of Web CEO data files' to create a backup file.
- Copy the created *.wkp file to another machine.
- Scan for backups using the DataGuard tool (Restore Web CEO datafiles from backup > Find).
- Select the backup file and click Restore.
Q: How can I start working with a new site/project?
A:Click 'Add New Site' in the Quick Launch window, or select File > New Site in the main menu.
Enter your site URL, its description, and select a folder in which to place your project. The default is the Main folder, but you can create custom folders if needed. Click 'Next'.
You will be asked to activate traffic analysis for your site. Check 'Activate Your 15-Day Free Trial Of Live Traffic Analysis' if you wish to activate HitLens now, or skip that option to activate later; click 'Next'.
Check that the information is correct and hit 'Finish'.
You can add several URLs to your projects at one go. Click the black arrow on the 'New Site' and select the 'Import Sites from the file' option. You can add sites from a *.csv or *.txt file.
The URLs should be entered this way:
www.example1.com, description of the site 1;
www.example2.com; description of the site 2.
Site description is optional. The URLs can be separated from the description by a semicolon, a comma, or by any other delimiter that you specify.
Q: How can I delete a project if I don`t need it anymore?
A:To delete a website from your projects, follow these simple steps:
1. Check that none of the Web CEO tools is running for the site that you wish to delete.
2. Make sure the real-time services like HitLens traffic analysis or Monitoring are not activated for this project. If they are, turn them off in the Project Manager by selecting the project and pressing the respective buttons below.
Note: as soon as you deactivate the service, all data is erased on our servers, so you will no longer be able to retrieve reports.
3. Right-click on the site URL in Project Manager.
4. Select 'Delete Site' from the pop-up menu.
5. Confirm the site deletion.
Note: when a site is removed from your projects, all report history for that site is deleted as well.
Q: How can I log on to the program with a different user account?
A:To log on to Web CEO using a different account, please follow these steps:
1. Remove the AutoLogon checkmark by right-clicking on the plug button in the bottom right-hand corner of the program window. Double-click the plug button to connect to the Datacenter.
2. Enter your registration details in the Account window. To edit your email address, click the button to the right of the email address field.
Please note that when you log on to Web CEO under another account, all information from your initial account is erased. To avoid this, please make a backup of your Web CEO database using Web CEO DataGuard. You will be able to restore your previous information when you return to your initial account.
Q: How can I quickly find my project?
A:If you have many projects and cannot find the necessary one, use the 'Search' option. It is available both in Project Manager and Project Selector. Just enter a part of your site URL or description, and the program will filter out all but matching this combination projects.
Note: press the red cross next to the 'Search' field after the project is found, otherwise you will not see the complete list of projects next time you open Project Manager.
Q: How do I change my email or password for Web CEO?
A:You can change the email or password for your Web CEO account by going to Account and choosing Change Password or Change E-mail.
