Storing Alive Sessions on a Network Drive
Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2022 3:50 am
Alive stores all users, sessions and session statistics in your Documents/Alive Sessions folder.
If your Documents folder is on a network drive, and the path My Documents/Alive Sessions doesn't exist and can't be created, Alive may fail to launch.
You can specify a different session storage location by editing the (Hard Drive)\Program Files (x86)\Alive\Session_Storage_Location.txt file.
Enter a path on your computer where it's possible for Alive to store it's session files. For example Session_Storage_Location.txt could contain only:
D:\
If you have a D drive this would now create a folder D:\Alive Sessions and store the session data there.
For example, if you've mapped a network drive, like Z:\, then you can put:
Z:\
Because you are editing a file in your Program Files folder, to save your changes you may need to save the Session_Storage_Location.txt file to a writeable location, for example your Desktop, then copy the changed file back into your Program Files (x86)\Alive folder to overwrite the original Session_Storage_Location.txt file.
If you are mapping Alive Sessions to a network drive, make sure that you will never have a situation where two different computers are using Alive at the same time, with the same Alive Sessions folder, otherwise your user and session data may be corrupted.
