Random registration error causes my database to disappear

[uconnrounder]

I've had PT3 since it first came out. When I loaded it up today, I received a message saying that it could not verify my registration and asked if I would like to start PT3 in trial mode. I selected "yes" and it suddenly began creating a new database. In realizing that it was set to this new empty database, I went to Database Management and saw that my old 3million hand database was not listed, nor were any of my other previous databases. After checking PG Admin, my missing databases are still there. I figured that I could just create a backup and restore it. Unfortunately, I am receiving a "file not found" error when I try to restore the backup. How can I get my old database re-synced with PT3?

Your database should still be there - in the Database Management window click New and then the blue Browse link. You should see your database listed, click on it and click Connect, and then you'll be able to use that database again (and you can delete the empty database should you so desire once you set your normal database to active and default).

I'm having the same problem, I started in trial mode by mistake. I closed PT3 when I realized I was in trial mode. When I restarted PT3 my database was missing. I have done as directed and gone to Database management->New->Browse, however there is only one database listed and it's not the one I've been using for the past few years!! Please tell me there's a way to recover this database!

This has been resolved, database name seems to have changed (?!) but all data present - phew!

The name in PT3 may have changed - you could change it to something else if you really want by using the Edit button on the Database Management window - but the actual database name in PostgreSQL shouldn't have changed. Either way, though, I'm glad to hear you were able to locate your data :)
