Cool Hold off on that switch Joey.

As it stands today, you will not be able to run Hoster on another computer, unless you use the exact Ethernet Controller that you had when you registered Hoster with MTU.

Currently, Hoster’s security features are tied-in to the Ethernet Controller MACID number which is unique in the world. If you install Hoster in another computer which has a different Ethernet Controller, you will not be able to open it and you will receive a system error #1 message. For more information about this error, please click here

If you current Ethernet Controller (the one you used to register Hoster) is not built-in into your current motherboard, then you’ll have no problems, simply transfer the controller to your new computer.

Alternatively, if you want to use Hoster on different computers (only one at a time) then you can purchase an USB Ethernet Controller, for you to be able to use this option, you must first obtain another product ID from MTU.

It’s my understanding that MTU is working on another security scheme that will not require an Ethernet Card to run Hoster but to the best of my knowledge, this option is not currently available.
