New Laptop, possibly Macbook: Don't want to pay to re-register GR3 again.

[David Draun]

Ok so in the next two months I will be getting a new laptop; possibly a MacBook, because I'm not really sold on Vista. I have been looking for a way to get GR3 on the new machine without paying the registration fee again. I had saved the receipt and everything, but I don't know where it is anymore.

So my question is how do I move it to a new PC?

Just use the same registration number given to you when you bought it the first time. When my old laptop crashed, I reinstalled it using the same registration key and it worked.

EDIT: Just saw you didn't have the receipt anymore - and I imagine that means you don't have the key anymore.

From the GRLevelX help forums...

Send email with the details (purchase date, address, etc.) to [email protected].

I would think that all you would need to do is download GR3 again, and key in the product registration key that you received when you bought it the first time. If that's what you mean you no longer have when you say 'your receipt', then I'm not sure what else you can do.

BTW- The GR3 program allows you to use it on two boxes with the purchase of one license. I have one on my box here at home, and the other is on my laptop.
Of Course!!!

...as long as they aren't being used at the same time...

Is that due to some limitation with polling and which server a person receives their updates from?

No, it's more common sense. If you have specific questions - I'd ask Mike - but I think it'd only be right that if you are using two at the same time you should register two.

I found my registration key in my saved email!! I guess there is no issue now. Kthx all.

I get your drift. I wasn't sure what you were driving at with your initial reply.

The only time you ever have to register more than one copy is when you put it on a different machine than your own. It doesn't matter if you're using it at the same time or not.

If you own 3 laptops and 2 desktops, from what I understand, you can use the same copy on all computers and run the radar program on all of them at the same time. Correct me if I'm wrong.

That's not my understanding (although I could be wrong). I think what he had in mind is that you could have it on your computer at work, on your home computer and your laptop (or whatever combo you have) as long as you were not logged into all of those at the same time... which could be abused obviously. I know he was looking into some way to prevent such abuse, not sure where that is at.

/currently have it installed on all 3 machines as detailed above.. use one at a time.

I cannot seem to find a text file of the EULA like most software programs leave behind when you install them on your drive. I've looked deep inside the bowels of Windows and cannot seem to find it (and I didn't get dirty). Since there are so many opinions here I'm not sure what's right and what's wrong!

I think this whole thread can be answered by one email to the author

I believe Mike is going to jump in here and clear this all up. I took rdale's advice and e-mailed him for clarification. Please don't kill the messenger!
