  • Navigate to the application Program Files x86 folder – ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\CardExchange Solutions\CardExchange Gateway\’

  • Find the two files ‘CardExchange.Config.exe’ and ‘CardExchange.Gateway.exe.config’

  • Drag ‘CardExchange.Gateway.exe.config’ config file onto the .exe application ‘CardExchange.Config.exe’ to open it.

  • Click Yes to confirm open the file

  • The configuration tool will now open with a couple of columns for you to select. On the right side, select Connection Strings / Application.MySettings.Database

Set the provider to SQLite.

For the Database file row, point this to the ‘cegateway.sqlite’ file that is found in your CardExchange Data folder. If the application was installed in the default locations, you can find the file in this path here: ‘C:\Users\Public\Documents\CardExchange\Data\’. Otherwise, open the ‘CardExchange.ini’ file to find the DataDirectory for your Data folder location.

When the data folder has been located, select Browse next to the Database file row, select the ‘cegateway.sqlite’ file, and select the Save button in the top left corner.

For TrustID v4, please note the following file name changes:

  1. TrustID Path – ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Magicard\TrustID\’

  2. ‘TrustID.Config.exe’ and ‘TrustID.exe.config’

  3. ceTrustID.sqlite
