Transfer to new computer
How do I transfer my license to a new computer? I have been down for a while and noticed you updated the software so I downloaded the new version onto my new computer but I cannot find any way to register the product. It appears on my old machine (which now works again but is very slow) shows "V4.xx" on the splash screen.

I copied my old License.dat file into the Gearotic Motion directory and it appears to work (it least it isn't nagging about a lack of license when I add a gear). It would be nice if someone could show me a way to validate that the new version on a new machine is registered properly.

Re: Transfer to new computer
Ok, I figured out the confusion. For some reason the icon at the very top right of the screen (next to the Style dropdown listbox) is the Print icon [Prn] and not a Help icon. But when I selected the icon it gave me an About dialog box with my name in it - so all is good.
thanks
