Changing computers
I've just purchased a second laptop and want to use it for my back-up system. I was using my desktop but portability was a problem there, hence the new laptop purchase. I've read up on how to uninstall Hoster from the old computer and re-install on the new but it's not working for me. The problem appears to be my registration code.
I purchased Hoster on CD some years ago and the then latest version was V3.316 for which I received a registration number (as you do) I have since up-graded three times to 4.11 but in the process my inital registration code was cancelled and replaced with another. When I attempt to install Hoster on my new laptop using the original CD, it will not accept my new or old registration codes at all. What am I to do fellahs? |

Re: Changing computers
your allowed 2 computers with full version hoster.
you need to go to your account at MTU.com and retreive your reg code.

Re: Changing computers
Yep, done that Beavis. As I was saying it wont accept the reg code. I've sent a web mail to MTU as well. Awaiting their reply but thought I'd throw it to the forum to see if you can help.

Re: Changing computers
First you have to uninstall it from your desktop if you haven't yet.
Then download the current version and install it on your new computer. I would at least wait a couple hours between uninstalling and re-installing to give their server time to process the uninstall. You do not need to install the older version for this.

Re: Changing computers
Can I swap reg codes between computers doing this same uninstall / install
The laptop I use with 4.22 installed does not seem to have a high enough processing speed and or ram to handle the visualization correctly. (I can not afford to upgrade these at this time). I have another laptop that does meet the requirements but it would need a Hoster upgrade from 4.11 to 4.22 (I can not afford to do this upgrade at this time either). If you were wondering? |

Re: Changing computers
Yes, you can do that by uninstalling the programs and reinstalling with the different registration codes. If you do this I would not do it right before a show in case something goes wrong. I would also wait a while in between uninstalling and re-installing to give MTU server time to perform the removal.
How many computers do you have Hoster on? Are these Full version or Lite versions of Hoster?

Re: Changing computers
I have 3 reg codes of full versions of Hoster on 6 computers. I am only using 3 regularly and a 4th one sometimes. I have 4 of the computers on 4.22.
I wish when I purchased the laptops a long time ago I knew what I know now (before I went to external hard drives and large hard drives seemed to be the most important thing), now i know processing speed and Ram are the most important things I've never purchase a processor or Ram upgrade before and when I get to it I hope it's not more expensive than buying new laptops. There is only 3 of the 6 laptops that meet both requirements, 2 that need more Ram and 1 that needs upgrades in both. ($$$). 2 of the 3 laptops that meet the requirements are on the only reg code that has not been upgraded to 4.22 yet. |

If it has been more than 12 months since you purchased an upgrade for that reg code you will need to do that for those two.
