new computer licensing woes
« on: June 21, 2007, 02:23:43 pm »

i have trashed my old laptop which i had installed my original MC12 on and am now using a desktop I bought off ebay.  the problem is my new desktop keeps considering my MC license like a trial license and counting the days i have left.  how do i transfer the license over to the new desktop properly?  i just hope i won't need my old laptop to do this because it is already at the dump.

That's in the FAQ:

You just need to restore your old license from our server.

i tried that already and that is what confuses me the most... for some reason it still thinks the license is temporary.  maybe i did it wrong?

Did you use your Registration Code to restore?

When you do that an Install Key is e-mailed to you, but it is only good for 14 days.

Can you be more specific about "the key".   How did you get it?   When?

Do not post your license.

well i got this new computer about 2 weeks ago so it was probably sometime around then...  i bought the program some time ago, maybe 6 months or so.

my name is Daryl Fortney and if it helps i think i used the email jriver@groovydomain.com to register, but it might also have been jriver@troyhotspot.com. i have 2 mail servers here and i forget which one i used at the time.

That's really odd... When you do the restore process, you may want to quickly refer to the very detailed walkthrough I posted on the Wiki here: http://wiki.jrmediacenter.com/index.php/Restoring_Media_Center

Also... Since the registration data is stored (at least somewhat) in the Windows Registry, be sure you don't have any "registry protector" processes running on the system.
