1) MM will provide a maintenance release that will allow you to transfer the license from old computer to new computer with absolutely no contact with MM, internet or otherwise.
2) If anything should go wrong with this procedure, you could still license the new computer with a simple internet registration session using the "second copy" provision. If you have already used up your second copy, you can contact MM to have them reset their data base of registered machines to erase the knowledge of that old machine, then proceed with a regular internet-based registration of the new machine.
That's how I understand all of this anyway. Craig

In the extensive hash of this subject, I've lost sight of how the below part works. I *KNOW* that the computer I now use will be replaced before I get through using F2K4 but after I purchase it. I thought I understood that somehow the program could be/would be de-activated on the old machine through some sort of authorization transfer, thus leaving me STILL with two authorizations possible. The statement below sounds like I'll lose one when I change machines. Surely I am not understanding it right.
It's a little like kidneys: two are best but one will work, though from that point on you'd worry about losing that ONE! I prefer always to be able to have two, whether it's authorizations OR kidneys...
