If anyone is thinking of switching computers on the weekend when
MakeMusic offices are closed, DON'T DO IT!
I bought a big, hairy MacIntel and used the Migration Manager to move
everything painlessly over to the new machine, then discovered that I
had to authourise the new machine with MakeMusic. As I was already up
to my limit, I thought it would be no problem to de-authourise my old
machine and authourise the new one, but no go! According to the
weekend registration person, I need to talk to someone at the head
office to work these things out. This means no saving or printing
until 11 am my time Monday! She even suggested de-installing then re-
installing to gain another 30 days grace (apparently the Migration
Manager lets the new computer know how long I have had Finale!) but
that failed miserably, as Finale is too smart for a tactic like that.
I only lost all my preferences, even though the de-installer said I
would lose no files that I had altered myself. It lied.
Anyway, I am tearing my hair out in frustration here. Two days
cooling my heels when I have a screaming deadline is no fun.
Anyone know how to get around this?
Christopher
