I'm a print designer & setting up my favorite 1000 or so fonts separated into individual character oriented sets took time.
I upgraded from owned v1 to demo v2, and now it doesn't recognize my previous version Vault - thus sets are all gone. It will take weeks to set back up. Will stay with version 1 until I see a patch that resolves the issue.
By the way, 50% of the software value for an upgrade of a already poorly developed product (see - Quark) isn't an instant buy. The demo should represent the full product quality. And working in the bizz, I have to say, we also have employees or contractors whom do reviews (re: already 1st two posted reviews) with absolute positive comments to nudge sales.
The advice is DEMO 1st, ignore posted reviews, be wary always, esp. with Extensis products. I you can handle the headaches & crashes as I do, after the demo, then keep an open mind. The alternative is well.. other software to get used to.

Same thing happened to me when I tried to upgrade to Demo 13.2 (I'm still in demo mode, lol). ...it said "there is no vault" even when I pointed it directly to my vault, which I had spent considerable time constructing.I've heard of several other users having this exact same problem, but I must say that Extensis' tech service IS great. Both phone and email, even for a demo, it's been wonderful.

You can set Suitcase so it does not copy or move your fonts. I keep all my fonts on an second hard drive, and I set Suitcase to leave them there.I find this to be less problematic than using the vault.

Suitcase Fusion 2 should recognize your previous vault, and application crashes are not typical with Suitcase Fusion 2.It sounds like there may be other issues with your system.
I'd highly recommend calling our free technical support line and chatting with one of our techs. They should be able to help diagnose any issues with your system.
