I already activated boinc account, but it didn't work, so i used seti classic. now i wanted to transfer the workunits to my boinc account, but there is nothing what is working. maybe because my english is not so good... In Classic I have 1294 workunits. In user account from boinc is shown 798 seti classic workunits. That means a difference of 496 workunits... a lot of work. I don't want that they are lost. Please help me to solve the problem. If you speak german, it will be helpfully for me :-) But I understand english.

It was a snapshot made of the Seti Classic database on the 15th of March 2005. Seti/Boinc cannot update the Classic database in realtime, as the whole Classic database needs to be offline to make a snapshot. So the next and last update will be done once Classic shuts down.

You start from zero credits in Seti/Boinc. Read this FAQ in the Wiki on that. The credits in Classic aren't compatible with the credits in Boinc. So the old ones won't be added to the new ones, ever.

Thank you for this help :-) If I understand this information and Boinc wiki right, the numbers of workunits are not lost. I simply have to wait for Shutdown of Seti Classic, when will be made a final snapshot of database
to update the numbers. But I may not change my email- adress, of course.
