Where Does PhonerLite Store Accounts and Settings?
Where PhonerLite keeps SIP profiles and global settings on Windows, and which folder wins by permissions.
Last updated
PhonerLite keeps four files: a global INI, a SIP profiles INI, and CSV phone and log books. Where they live depends on write permissions: portable folders with access keep them locally, while Program Files installs redirect to AppData. The debug window always prints the active path.
The profiles file is the sensitive one, carrying accounts with encrypted passwords. Provisioning files seed it automatically for managed rollouts. Back up both INIs together and a reinstall feels like nothing happened.
Where PhonerLite stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\PhonerLite
Holds PhonerLite.ini for global options and sipper.ini for SIP accounts with encrypted passwords, plus logbook and phonebook CSVs. Portable installs keep the same files in the program folder instead. The debug window prints the active path at startup.
Frequently asked questions
how do I move PhonerLite to a new PC
Copy sipper.ini with the app closed to move accounts, keeping in mind passwords travel with it encrypted. PhonerLite.ini carries window layout and sound devices. Never share sipper.ini casually since recipients could use your accounts.
which config folder is active
Check both spots: the program folder when it has write access, else %APPDATA%\PhonerLite. Program Files installs land in AppData. The debug window prints the full config path on every startup, which settles it instantly.
how do I provision PhonerLite automatically
Create a .plp provisioning file with Registrar, UserName, and Password lines matching sipper.ini keys. The installer registers the extension for double-click import. Scripted setups generate these per user from templates.
