You don't need to open the license file. Just copy it into the new directory for ver 9.0 See Jim's upgrade tips below:

There are two important parts: * Migrating your configuration (preferences) from the OLD to the NEW version * Copying (not moving) your log file. The file format will be changed when it is read into DX4WIN 9.01. If you change the old file and write it back, then your old version of DX4WIN will not be able to read it. *** READ THIS SENTENCE A COUPLE OF TIMES SO YOU UNDERSTAND!!! *** Here are the steps: 1. Using your OLD version, go to File | Preferences. Then File | Write INI File. The default name is DX4WIN.INI *** remember where this file is! *** 2. Install 9.01 and start it. It should come up with the default configuration and a SAMPLE log. 3. Follow the instructions you received with your license key. DX4WIN cannot be running when you are installing the license key. 4. Using the NEW version, go to File | Preferences. Then File | Load Configuration File. Navigate to the file you wrote in step #1 above, it's in your old DX4WIN SAVE directory. Double-click on the file name, it should be DX4WIN (or whatever you named it) and say "Configuration File" to the right. 5. Next, copy (don't move) your log file (<callsign>.DXL) from your old SAVE directory to your new SAVE directory. Right-click on the file in the old location and choose COPY (not CUT). Then navigate to the new SAVE directory, right-click and choose PASTE. *** The next step is VERY IMPORTANT *** 6. Using the NEW version, go to File | Open Log File. Click on the down-arrow arrow next to "Look in...". If the path is not the full path to your DX4W901 SAVE directory, you must navigate there first. When you see the <callsign>.DXL file, double-click on it to open it. DO NOT OPEN THE LOG FILE IN THE OLD LOCATION!!! That's pretty much all you have to do. Please post questions to the REFLECTOR, do not send me personal E-mail. My mailbox is already too full with messages that I don't have time to answer. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <jjreis...@alum.mit.edu>, http://www.ad1c.us ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html -----Original Message----- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Courtney Judd Sent: Saturday, October 21, 2017 4:54 PM To: Dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] ver9 well, not going so good. Downloaded ver9, ordered upgrade, received zip file with key and invoice. all ok so far. unzipped both.... invoice is ok, but win 10 did not know how to open the key file so I selected notepad and several hundred letters/numbers showed up and no instructions. Somehow I don't think this is right. Any clue as to what is wrong? thanks, Cort K4WI ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
