That failed as well.
Good news though, the customer support was able to
resolve the problem. The basic story is that the license needed
some kind of hard drive ID number to tie it to hardware in the
new laptop. Usually one runs the license app to get that information
and RSI sends the correct license file. But for some reason the
license app failed, and customer support had to get the infromation
from the lmtools app instead.

But it's all working now. yay.

Cheers,
bob

Bob,
why don't you just copy the license text in a text file using notepad, name
it 'license.dat', and place this file in the c:\rsi\license directory?
Always worked for me, I never use the license "wizard"

Cheers,
Haje

You are going through the typical headaches honest (paying) users have. BTW:
Personal-use licenses are not as restrictive and are not tied to the
harddrive.
