I just downloaded Beersmith to a new laptop. I was previously using an old desktop computer that I want to retire. How to port all of my recipes and equipment profiles over to the second instance of Beersmith desktop? Appreciate any guidance.
 
On BeerSmtih 3 you can do File->Full Backup to Zip File. Copy that zip file to the new computer, then do File->Full Recover from Zip. That should copy all of your recipes, ingredients and profiles from old to new. The on the old computer do Help->Manage or Renew License and log in to the resulting web site. You can deactivate the license for the old computer there. You can then do Help->Activate BeerSmith on the new computer and activate the license on that one.
