How to transfer UE4 from one computer to another?

I downloaded it on my laptop but now I need to move it to my Desktop PC, how can I do that? I tried moving the “4.0” folder in installation path but it didn’t work, it always tries to download whole engine in Desktop PC.

Best regards.

Hey DanielRS,

Launcher is only way to install engine currently, and it does require internet access. You can copy the .msi file to your desktop, but you will need to download rest from there.

Best,

Oh well, lets start download then. Thanks for your response.

There are manifest files that launcher uses to recognise things that are installed.

If you install launcher to same directory on your new machine as was on your old one you can also copy accross relevant folders. See my answer on this thread for more details:-
