Migrate from P4V

Switch at your own pace. Nothing on your server changes.

  1. Install next to P4V

    Same server, same workspaces, nothing to convert. Use both side by side while you switch.

  2. Sign in to your server

    The first start finds the free p4 command-line client, asks for your server and user, and lists your workspaces.

  3. Learn the few differences

    Files show their state in words, a button that cannot run says why, and Get latest shows what it will change first. The tester guide walks through it.

  4. Roll out to the studio

    Each person installs it on their own, and the beta needs no key. A studio profile can already lock settings with a reason, fix the starting layout and set description rules. Sharing one profile from the depot is still to come.
