Upgrading a 2 year old version of Hoster
 
My version of hoster has gotten old and now requires that I pay for a new upgrade. I am also moving hoster to a newer computer with a bigger hard drive at the same time. My question is, since you need your original copy of the software to upgrade, how do I upgrade on my new computer if you no longer have the version I originally purchased available for download on your website? I am searching through all my old downloads and am not sure if I saved the original one as I have not found it yet. Just courious if this is going to be an easy fix, or do I need someone there to post a copy of the 3.xxx software I started with.

Check your user account to see if the original download is still available.

This is why over and over MTU has said to save a copy of the set-up file. What version is it and when exactly did you purchase it? If you bought it after May 30, 2006 there is a copy of 3.321a that you can download and install with your existing registration code (provided you haven't installed it on two computers yet). You will find it in the Support/Downloads area.

Hoster 3.006 Software with Song Book (not on CDROM)
The link in this email downloads hoster3006setup.exe (19.9MB size).
My original purchase was about may 2005. This is what prompted my post. I am about to purchase the upgrade, but before I do this, I want to be sure there is a way to get the original download since the link from the original e-mail is no longer working.

Unfortunately there is no way to download it. They don't keep versions that far back. I would suggest you submit a Support Email to see what they need you to do.

you want a copy ?

Yes please. If you could that would be very helpful.

Please read these steps before buying so you know what to buy:


IF YOU HAVE ONLY INSTALLED HOSTER ON 1 COMPUTER:

Buy the Hoster 4 Upgrade for $69.99. This will then allow you to install Hoster 3.321a on your new computer using your Hoster 3 RegCode, and then UPGRADE it with Hoster 4.06.


IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED HOSTER ON 2 COMPUTERS:

NOTE: If this is too complex (we've made it as simple as we possibly can), buy a NEW Hoster 4 copy that can install on 2 new computers.

1. Buy the Hoster 4 Upgrade for $69.99.

Read these instructions how to REMOVE and RE-INSTALL your Hoster 4 version.

IMPORTANT NOTE: you cannot move 3.321a or versions prior to 4.06.

You should then be able to REMOVE this copy WHILE THE COMPUTER IS ON-LINE to the Internet. If you cannot, use the form on this page and we'll respond faster than other means.

Will give it a shot. Option #1 should work for me. Thank you for the informative post.
