Restoring MC16 on a New Computer
jfuzz:
Hi Guys, I'm still plugging away, but now I'm stuck again. What's New!? Let me recap:
1. I restored MC16 from your Wiki, Older Versions, on my new Win 7 computer. This is the version that matches my Registration Code. My old computer is an XP. I have MC17, but it will expire in two weeks. Hopefully MC16 won't.
2. Turned it on and I had MC 16 with three demo albums.
3. I setup my new MC16 manually to match my old machine settings.
4. Then I copied all of my old files in C:\documents and settings\admin\application data\jriver\media center 16 to C:\users\stereo only\appdata\roaming\j river\media center 16 as specified in file locations.
5. I rebooted and when it came up all I had was the same three demo files.
What did I miss? What should I try now?
JimH:
I could only find an MC17 license for the e-mail address you used for the forum.
So you must install MC17. Instructions are here:

So are you saying my Registration Number is for MC17? If so why do I have version MC16 on my old computer? Ok here is my registration code, [removed by JimH]. So what version does this entitle me to restore? When I purchased MC16 MC17 wasn't out yet. Now I'm really confused. :(I just checked my e-mail and I've got notification that I restored MC17 3 times nothing on MC16 and 10 restores on my remote. The remote needs a restore? I'll worry about the remote when I get MC? running on my new Win 7 computer. I know the problem-I've got this so screwed up I may never be able to fix it. Help!!!!

Posting your license may cause it to be revoked.
Yes. You have an MC17 license. Download MC17 and install it. Uninstall MC16 afterward. I don't know why you have MC16 on your machine.
