Make sure you keep copies somewhere other than your hard drive, just in case. Although, 4.2.44 is still available for download from <http://ritlabs.com/en/products/thebat/archive_version.php>. And you might possibly be able to get RitLabs to re-send the key if you have the same address it went to originally. > 1b.

You should be OK if you keep a copy of thebat_pro_4-2-44.msi file and your licence Key Block. The changes are supposedly only a problem if you try to revert back to the earlier TB! version. > 2. What files will I need to back up? I would back up the whole TB! mail directory, the whole TB! program directory, and the relevant registry key. But that is probably overkill. -- Best regards MFPA mailto:[email protected] When it comes to humility, I'm the greatest.
