PC Transplant also does not support 64-bit operating systems, so you cannot
create or distribute personalities for 64-bit systems.

You can distribute a personality through a self-extracting executable file that is
called a Personality Package. PC Transplant lets you create the Personality
Packages that can be used for multiple purposes.
Packages can include the desktop, printer, network, application settings (such as
favorites and contacts), and entire directory structures for your computers. You
can create packages that contain the most used directories, documents, and
settings for a group of computers. You can also create packages for individual
users on a shared computer. A user can then install the Personality Package on a
computer. After completing their work, each user can then uninstall the package
so the computer is ready for another user.
You can also perform a real-time migration from one computer to another. In
real-time migrations, you can map users and their properties, create user accounts,
and install applications.
Personality Packages are based on the templates that you can run from
command-line instructions to automate operating system migrations. You can
build and edit your own templates to define the settings, file, and options that
you want for your Personality Packages.

Note: In a hierarchy, the Deployment Solution license must be installed on each
Notification Server to use PC Transplant and manage personalities. Licenses for
PC Transplant are not replicated to child Notification Servers.

Before you create a Personality Package, you must tell PC Transplant what type
of information to migrate. You can provide this type of information in a personality
template file.
