    Hey everyone I know I said I won't be in here for awhile, but my Hard Drive is failing and I can't reboot the whole way which brings me to my question. If I can't uninstall any of my Security Programs, AV, ect, that I have a License for from the old HD, will I still be able to reinstall them on the new Hard Drive and reuse the License Key? The old HD isn't fried so I am told I can probably transfer stuff from it to the new one, but just in case I can't I would think since it's the same PC the License would work, right? I know this is the place to ask and I appreciate the help. My book is almost done, and thankfully was backed up on Thumb Drives and CD's. LOL. Maybe the last two years of installing and uninstalling Security Programs took it's toll on my 4 year old Sony Vaio DeskTop. LOL. Anyway I'll check back in later today. I will add that I miss posting here at Wilders too.

    Glad to hear from you stranger!!! To answer your question, an eMail to support should clear up any problems with the transfer, if you have any. (I know that A2 is at least good that way.)
    P.S.-Let us know when the book is out! :thumb: :thumb:

    Hello,
    I would think that your license should be transferable to a new system. Most EULA rules usually allow you to transfer the use of the program to another system as long as it is not being used in the previous one. But check with the vendor just to be sure.

    P.S. I guess you forgot your old signon and used another user nameo_O?
