I use the CLI and have over 11000 units completed; but wonder if all credits will be lost on Dec 15th. I've tried to change to BOINC and more recently to the CLI/Boinc, but I can't log in. User name and password already in use.!? Also, I notice the Class of Aug 10,2004 is no longer being updated. Is that a problem or just part of the changeover?

Credits won't be lost on December 15, they'll be moved as a separate entry to your account on the BOINC side. Right now you're showing your credits as of March 15, that will be updated after the shut-down to your final numbers.

Your account on BOINC is set up, but did you activate it? Which version of BOINC have you installed? There was a change in setup between the 4.x and 5.x versions, and I'm still catching up on the differences...

Sorry, no info on the class statistics, though I do know they're pressed right now, working on merging the science databases from both sides of the project, it may not be high on their priority list for now.

There's much information about BOINC and SETI-BOINC in the Wiki which is linked in my signature, more than most of us will ever need to know.

The stated plan is that after Classic is shut down for good (most likely by year's end), the final stats from Classic will be posted into the Your Account section in SETI BOINC. It is important to understand that credit is calculated in a COMPLETELY different way with BOINC and the two will NEVER "merge". They will ALWAYS be reported as two separate values.

As for not being able to login to the new system, please post more details...like the contents of the Messages tab in BOINC Manager so that someone can help you with this problem. I have been running BOINC since the public release on several VERY different machines. I am sure we can get you up and running on the new platform.

I checked in my 'downloads' folder and see boinc_4.43_windows_intelx86. I don't think I ever installed or activated it. I have since downloaded the most recent 5.2.7 but would like to know if I can just install this or should I first uninstall the Seti@Home CLI. I have 4 PC's, all running the CLI app. Will each one have to be converted to 5.2.7 ?

Yes, you'll need to install BOINC 5.2.7 on each computer. You don't need to uninstall the CLI, but you should stop running it. If you have both Classic and BOINC SETI running on the same computer, Classic operates at a slightly higher priority and will get the lion's share of the CPU time, leaving BOINC operating very slowly.

Thank you MJ. I will gradually reduce my CLI work units on hand on each PC and convert to Boinc when the last is completed; then stop and uninstall the CLI app's. and install the 5.2.7 app. I have some reading to do while this is going on. Thanks for the "BOINC Wiki" link; that will help in this conversion.

You're very welcome. When you get to the point of starting up BOINC, and if you have any problems there, the Wiki can help, and many common issues have been addressed in posts on these boards. But definitely ask if you can't find an answer, and somebody will come along to point you in the right direction! 8-)
