User Bundles simplify the process of migrating LightBurn between computers. Go to File → Bundles → Export Bundle to create a bundle, and import a bundle by dragging the .lbzip file into the LightBurn Main Window or using File → Bundles → Import Bundle.

A bundle can include any of the following. You can export everything, or select only the components you want to include:

It's important to keep in mind that this list does not include your project files. If you want these available on your new computer, be sure to copy or move them separately.

Working With Bundles

Export Bundle

  1. In an existing and already configured LightBurn installation, go to File → Bundles → Export Bundle.
  2. Make sure that all components of the current installation that you want to include are selected and click Export. Save the file somewhere you can find it again easily.

Import Bundle

  1. Move the .lbzip file created by Export Bundle to the new computer.
  2. Open LightBurn on the new computer. Go to File → Bundles → Import Bundle and select the file. Click Okay.

  3. Make sure that all components you want to import are selected, and uncheck any components you don't want to import. Components that are already detected on the computer will be grayed out and unavailable, with some exceptions:

    • If you choose to a import a Device that conflicts with one that already exists, a duplicate will be created, and the existing profile preserved.
    • If the new computer has an existing Material Library or Art Library with the same name but different contents as the one contained in the bundle, a new copy of the library will be created, without overwriting the original.

  4. Click Import to complete the process.

Tip

You can also import a bundle by dragging the .lbzip file into LightBurn.
