Export Users only?

We have been using Blue Iris for about a year now. The owners of the company are expanding, and would like additional BI PC's at the new locations.

Is there a way to Export just the Users, and import them onto the new PC's that we are setting up?
so that we do not have to create the profiles on each PC..

Since that would mean additional BI5 licenses, and you may get a discount on them by contacting Support, I suggest adding that question at the same time to Support Please let us know the response.

Since each user has an entry (key) in the registry, you could export/import them.
Quick test here worked OK. Created a test user, exported registry key. Deleted user. Restored and the user was restored.

Blue Iris support responded back.

export / import this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Perspective Software\Blue Iris\server\users
