One more question from ADmin..

Both machines work now with 3.321. Minor problem once in awhile (trivial).

1. When I upgrade to 4.xx on these two, can I transfer to a new computer at a later time without having 3.321 on the new one?

2. My free download period ran out a couple of years ago for 3.321. I am sure I have the downloaded files somewhere.

3. Has the manual been re-written to explain this up-grade and transfer procedure?

4. This is just a hobby with me so I don't really get a lot of experience using it. I don't compete with KJ's, I go to their shows and sing their songs...

Phil, thank you for your questions. You are right on top of concerns MTU has been working on for years... and about to come to reality. I've numbered your questions so I can address each below.

BTW: I'm telling you, Ddouglass our Super Moderator and... the rest of the world. This will be great news to all MTU customers!

1. TRANSFER COMPUTERS: Currently, you need to install 3.321 using its Registration Code, and then 4.xx. However... we are waiting right now for our webmaster to finish a new script that will simplify this greatly.

Lord willing, here's what WILL BE by the end of this month. If you have bought a Hoster upgrade within the past 12 months, your 3.0 RegCode will be able to directly install the 4.xx version. Upgrades will be free for the next 12 months. If we don't put in features you want, don't pay us!

Whether you upgrade or not, you would be able to run your existing Hoster, move it to another computer by removing it and then installing it or a later version on the new computer using your 3.0 RegCode. This will make our security as transparent as I have dreamed of for close to a decade!

Can you tell I'm excited?

2. DOWNLOADS: Phil, you can NOW go to this page and download the latest releases of ALL MTU products. We changed our "delivery method" so anyone can download the latest version... clearly meshing with what I wrote above as we have been working towards this for years!

Now that you can get the latest download Installation program, to install and register it will be a matter of whether you; 1) have any RegCode for that product, and 2) have purchased an upgrade for that product within the past 12 months.

3. INSTRUCTIONS: The current "move" method is described in the new manual. I personally have been working day and night (20hrs/day) for several weeks to have the new manual ready when 4.10 releases. I pray I will be able to include this new install instructions, but we must fully test the script functioning on our test site before it is activated for all our customers at mtu.com.

However... once it is activated we will also have; 1) a FAQ on it, 2) describe it on the Vista, XP and Windows 7 updates instruction pages that you access during installation, 3) our MicroNotes(tm) newsletter will be sent out describing this new flexibility, and 4) MTU.Community members will be talking about it too, and Ddouglass and I will be working together to insure everything is as "simple" as we designed it to be.

4. THANK YOU... for choosing Hoster for your recreational tool. I know you are better prepared for your public performances with Hoster to practice with at Home. Hey, don't forget to have "home karaoke parties" for your friends and family. We have many Hoster users who evolved from home parties, to church or social group parties, to public performances for hire! Who knows where this will lead you....
