When you purchase a copy of hoster it allows you install it on 2 computers (second computer for back up) ! hoster is set up just like microsoft windows. even after you reformat your hard drive, when you go to register windows, it looks for your machine ID#. hoster works the same way ( i believe). so when you reformat and reinstall hoster, it looks for your machine ID#. if it doesnt match your old machine ID# then it thinks your installing it on a different computer !


it just seems to me your trying to install hoster on multiple computers and do not want to pay. MTU knows when your putting it on a different computer the minute you try and register the copy of hoster.

WHY WOULD YOU HAVE TO REFORMAT SO MANY TIMES ???

it use to only work if you had a USB to ethernet adapter. you could install hoster on multiple computers but you had to have the adapter to run the software. and beleive me it wasnt as cheap as it is now! before it was $459.00usd !!!! thats what i payed!

i like the new way better (machine ID#)!

[NATHAN]

Believe me i only have my laptop and my pc and have no need to install on anything else. I was told it was to do with the drivers you have in and the windows updates ,they all have to be the same as the first time you installed hoster. As for formatting ,i keep getting viruses and like to wipe the system and start afresh thats all.

thanks nath.

p.s. As for windows you can phone them to register after you have used all your go's up. Hoster you cannot.

[Beavis]

you should always install all windows updates when reformatting before installing hoster. never use windows updates for video drivers!



ps: microsoft has no choice but to register your windows! MTU does.

[NATHAN]

But installing all windows updates cannot be right because what if a new update comes out ,the next time you go to re-install hoster it may not work if you have put all the windows updates in. You would have updates that were not originally in there. Do you see what i mean? Why could mtu not do it exactly the same way as microsoft do on the reg side of things?

thanks nath.

Nathan,
When you do Windows updates it changes nothing on hoster. I have done all the windows xp & win 2000 updates since last october, and hoster is still up and running fine.

For safety, If you get Norton Ghost 2003 and make a backup Image of your c: hard drive, then when you have a problem, you won't have to bother anyone about reseting anything. Everything Including windows will work without reformatting and re-installing all your programs. They will all be there ready to run.. and reimaging your hard drive takes less than 20 minutes as opposed to hours for reformatting and reloading.

I hope you get up and running. Good luck
