Need to Upgrade an offline computer
« on: September 19, 2006, 07:13:18 am »

I have a systemn running MC10 and would like to upgrade it to 11.  I am not online and have no easy way of getting it online.  Is there an offline upgrade process?  I have another system online that I can make the purchase from and transfer the file vis USB.

Thanks.

Also

move the MC install file to the other computer, install it.

when you go to the register page on computer 1 connected to the internet, there is an option to download the key file, you can move that key file to the other computer and when you dbl click on it, it should register it.

Thanks for the quick response King.  I need to actually purchase the upgrade from 10 to 11 but the only method I saw of doing that is through the Internet from the computer running the software.

You need to have the MC10 license and the current program version installed on the PC that is used for the upgrade purchase.

Could you do the following?

On your networked PC:

- Install MC10 (ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaCenter10.exe).
- Restore your MC10 license (https://rover.jriver.com/cgi-bin/restore.cgi)
- Uninstall MC10. Use the uninstaller with all uninstall options ticked. (This does not remove your MC10 registration.)
- Install MC11.1
- Buy the upgrade and save the key file (it is valid for 14 days).
- Uninstall MC11.1 if preferred.

On your "MC" PC:

- Backup your MC10 library (- libraries if you have many. Make a separate backup file for each library)  File >Library>Backup Library.
- If you use a cover art folder that is located inside MC10's program folder make a backup of the cover art folder too.
- Make notes about your customized program options (in MC10).
- Uninstall MC10. Use the uninstaller with all uninstall options ticked. (This step is not necessary, but I recommended it for getting the cleanest possible MC 11.1 installation)
- Install MC11.1 and restore the MC11 license from the key file.
- Restore the library(ies)  File >Library>Restore Library
- Customize the program options if needed.

Thanks for the response Alex.  I guess if that is what I have to do but it seems pretty ridiculous to have to jump through those hoops.  Seems like I should be able to go to their website, verify my upgrade eligibility and download the upgrade to take over to my offline system.

I hate having to install unneeded software on my networked (work) PC.
