I am installing the product on another computer and would like to know the best way to move private and public keys to this other computer. Is it best to export the keys and then import on the other computer (including my private key) or should I copy the .pkr and .skr files to this other computer? What about the pass phase? Will it get exported with my private key? If I elect to copy the .skr file, is the pass phrase stored as part of this file? What about the passphrase.ini file. What is it's purpose.

Thanks
