This is a commercial set of plugins, so they have rules about copyright and copywrong.
But these products have a (restricted) freedom, as with OS's, to move/copy it to another system within a personal environment.
So I would first check, if the .8BF files still work, when just copied to the new medium, before registering again.

If you have any kind of registration info, emails - receipts - anything with magic numbers on it - back it up. That goes for anything. If the software had to be registered through a dialog that was displayed after installation, then there will be other traces on your computer. Files in the directory or in your "personal" directory, and/or entries in the windows Registry (do you know anyone who can deal with that?). I have kept things through many changes of computer.
A friend who recently lost every byte on her hard drive got all purchased games back because the needed information was saved in e-mail that remained on the server.Its: Belongs to "It"
It's: Shortened form of "It is"

Nice addition Matera..
And beside the e-mail I always save any registration dialog with all its properties into a simple ascii-txt file for my archive.
The tricky registry needs another way of dealing with.
It consists of 'keys' having a relation with the application.
With "Regedit" or another program, one can do a search with e.g. 'Unlimited', to find those keys.
If they are present, one can export a single key, or a group, to a file, which gets the extension *.reg.
Such a file then can be transported to another system.
If one needs to add this key to this system as well, a double-click on the copied .reg-file is enough.
But, as I said, tricky. One should not execute this without knowing what's going on.Last edited by Sam_Zen; 18.01.2008, 12:56 AM.
