1) Leave your old machine turned on
2) Install the license manager on a server that will be left turned on. (this will require you to request a new auth code from Chaos)
3) Install the license manager on the new computer (this will require you to request a new auth code from Chaos)
4) Install 1.5 with the new license management. This means waiting for the dongles which will be shipping shortly after Chaos gets back from SIGGRAPH
I had problems moving to a new machine a couple of weeks ago. I got the auth code from Chaos but something went wrong and I have had to realy on borrowing the license from my old machine - exact same problem. I decided that the dongles will save my ass - when they get here with 1.5 of course
Ya, I think that the dongle will be great. No waiting for auth codes, even though I found Chaos to be very quick. There is no replacement for plugging a dongle in with the license on board. It takes seconds compared to hours! :lol:
