I have three machines running SETI Boinc. I can't find the email with the project url and the account ID. I cannot seem to find out how to get this information emailed to me again.

One of the possibilities is using this link.

Using it, you will receive by e-mail your account ID again together with the URL to use.

Another possibility is to get them from the file account_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml. It has the stuff in the master_url and authenticator tags.

Thank you both. I found the .xml file in my boinc directory and used that information. I have also saved the location to the link to have the information emailed to me. I looked for the link on the Berkeley website but was unable to find it on my own. Perhaps I overlooked a reference to it.

@walt

You can just copy the account*.xml file(s) to the new computer. Then the next time BOINC is started on that computer it will automatically attach. This works even when the server is down.

@richard

To find the link you need to log out of the web site then try to log in again.
