Re: [Finale] Finale 2004 copy protection help.

[Rich Caldwell]

I recently upgraded to Panther (from Jaguar) by wiping the drive 
clean and starting from scratch, and I didn't have to get another 
code or call MM.  What I had done was clone the drive first, then 
copy most of the apps and prefs - including those for Finale (2004b) 
- onto the fresh system.  If I recall correctly, it didn't work at 
first - it actually wouldn't launch - so I trashed my prefs file 
(EEK! lost all program prefs!).  Then it launched in trial mode. 
From there I think I chose "register" in the help menu, perhaps 
reentered my serial number, and that was all.

So, if you don't care about redoing your preferences, then you could 
try that.  I would advise against it, but figured I'd chime in with 
my story anyway, for the record.

Maybe my experience was a fluke.  Probably a bug, considering.

Dear sirs at Mac Support and also
for those of you (in the list) who are using 2004 on a Mac:
I am going to buy an iBook in the near future, and I wonder if the copy
protection scheme has been improved in the 2004b revision.
If I reformat my hard disk to reinstall Panther, do I have to contact Coda
to register again?
Is the copy protection based only in the Ethernet card address?
Can I easily transfer my registration to the portable?
Thanks for any help...
