splash Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Hi, My OS is currently Windows 7 but I will install Windows 8.1 as soon as it's available. Could I transfer my license from one OS to another without losing an deactivation or activation? Thanks.
chaos Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 I don't think you can. Just de-activate and install win8. It's really simple... "It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage..."
splash Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 And... what would it happen if i run out of deactivations? Could I use activations then?
chaos Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 It's unlikely that you're running out of act and de-activations. IIRC you have 5 of them/month. Even if you do run out, a polite email to ED would get you back gaming ASAP... "It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage..."

Even if you do run out, a polite email to ED would get you back gaming ASAP... Minor correction: 10 activations and 8 deactivations. When the last activation is spent, 30day timer starts and then you get it back.

splash Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks for your explanations, I'm going to buy FC3 and Huey at 20th June but probably I will install Windows 8.1 when it is available.
splash Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 Hi again, one more question please. Is it possible to export my eagle dynamics registry key before reinstalling O.S. and import it again when the O.S. is installed? Thanks.
sobek Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Hi again, one more question please. Is it possible to export my eagle dynamics registry key before reinstalling O.S. and import it again when the O.S. is installed? Your only option is to deactivate prior to OS installation, save the deactivation key and then reactivate after you are done. The unique OS identifier is part of the key system, if it changes (which it does when you reinstall it or install another version) without you deactivating, you will need to use up an activation afterwards. You can't just save the registry key, it won't work with the new OS. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
splash Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 OK, thank you very much. I have it very clear now.
G00dnight Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 it really isn't a problem I have every module and A10 / BS2 from release and have changed/updated my comp several times and I still have plenty of activations left so don't panic about using 1 or 2.

Doesn't hurt him if he saves as many as possible, though... Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
