trouble upgrading 2 many installs

[kip777]

I don't know why this happens every time I purchase an upgrade but it does. I'll give you a little history. In February of 2013 I installed a Samsung 500GB SSD and in April 2013 upgraded Hoster had to have the instances reset, previously I had HDD's that I would clone probably monthly and sometimes swap them out to verify and then being lazy I would leave that drive in and clone the original next month. Now I have a Crucial 512GB SSD that I have cloned and am using currently. I mentioned this because I upgraded again 10/2014 and again I have too many instances of Hoster and can't upgrade. So I put in the Samsung drive (April upgrade but has been cloned since) and tried that one, couldn't upgrade still, so I uninstalled Hoster from the drive (connected to the internet) thinking the removal will bring me from the maximum 2 down to 1 less than the maximum and it should install. well I guess your software can't count because it would not install still. even though an instance was removed. now the Samsung drive has been cloned since the April upgrade and I had to replace a BD reader/DVD burner that failed with a BD/DVD burner. Other than SSD's that is the only hardware change to this Asus G73sw, I did ask my daughter to try to upgrade hers/my backup Asus G73jh, but I haven't heard anything yet, just upgraded the backup myself with no problem. I put in a support ticket Saturday but I haven't had a response, must be on Christmas vacation. (what a great movie)
Thanks,
