Chris,
In FInale 2007 only (not earlier versions), you can deauthorize on
your old Mac by choosing "Deauthorize Finale" from the Help menu.
After you do this, you can register Fin2007 on your new Mac.
Cheers,
- Darcy

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
