Question: Licensing OOTP 10 on a new laptop

[GeoBull]

Just got OOTP last night and love it. In the next week I will be switching laptops. What will I need to do to activate OOTP on my new laptop?

Thanks for the great game!

You get two license codes (well, the same one) with the game to use on two computers.

Just download, install, and plug the license in.

Sorry for the newbie lack of knowledge:

-I'm not sure where to find the licenses, numbers or whatever it is that I need to plugin. Are these files I have to drop in place? If yes, what file names? Or numbers I enter? If numbers where can I find them?

-I rebuild my laptop reasonably often; is that going to be a problem for continued use of the game? I'll only ever be running one copy at a time.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Your license number is a string of letters and numbers. Elicense emailed you the code when you bought the game, and they'll re-email it to you, if you need it.

If you rebuild your laptop often you will need to unlicense the game first, then you won't lose a license. Just relicense when you reinstall the game.

Thanks. How do I go about unlicensing and relicensing?

Also, I get a mail from eLicense. It has an alphanumeric order number. Is that my license number?

Thanks again for your help.

There should be a "License" shortcut in the Start menu group with OOTP. There is also an eLicense control panel you can use to unlicense products.

Yes.

Totally understand the licensing process now. Thanks for all your help. I love OOTP baseball!
