I've not been blessed with an Intel up till now. Some programs will require re-entering the serial numbers, as they identify the system they're on in different fashions; if you keep the name of the system the same, many programs will work without serial numbers etc. Just as an aside, serial numbers are among the 'irreplaceable' class of data...you should REALLY have more than one safe copy of them somewhere. This is why programs like Photoshop and suchlike come with multiple stickers with the serial number on them...one for the installed cd case, one for the manual, one for a piece of paper in your filing cabinet, etc. *IF* you have proof of ownership, most companies will supply a new serial number, gratis. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
