Free → Pro
Your records make the move, not a server.
Free and Pro are separate apps on Google Play, so upgrading is a backup-and-restore rather than an in-app unlock. That's by design — it keeps both editions fully offline. The whole process takes a few minutes, and your data never passes through anything but the file you carry it in.
-
Back up in the free app
Open Armory Manager, go to the Data tab, and choose Export backup. Set a password when asked — the backup holds your whole collection, so treat the file the way you'd treat the safe's combination.
Save keeps the .zip on the phone; Share sends it to a drive, a computer, or your own inbox. Either works — you just need to be able to reach the file in step three.
-
Install Armory Manager Pro
Get Armory Manager Pro on Google Play. It installs alongside the free app — nothing is overwritten, and the free app's records stay put until you decide otherwise.
-
Restore in Pro
Open Pro, go to Data → Restore backup, pick the .zip from step one, and enter its password. Every firearm, range trip, maintenance entry, photo and document comes across.
-
Check the vault
Look over the collection in Pro — counts, photos, history. Cleaning reminders reschedule themselves from the restored records.
-
Retire the free app (optional)
Once you're satisfied, you can uninstall the free edition. Uninstalling deletes its on-device records, so do this only after you've confirmed everything arrived in Pro — and consider keeping the backup .zip somewhere safe regardless. You now have one, and a second copy costs nothing.
Good to know
- Nothing expires. There's no deadline on the move — the free app keeps working within its three-firearm cap for as long as you like.
- The same file restores anywhere. The backup that upgrades you to Pro is the same one that moves you to a new phone.
- Forgot the password? The backup can't be opened without it — that's the point of the encryption. Export a fresh backup from the free app and try again.
