Transfer game to new computer

Bought new laptop - need to transfer game. Do not have the email with the original purchase. How do I move the game to the new computer?

I assume you have the FastSpring version of the game. If Steam, just go to your Steam library and it will be there readty to install.

Back to FastSpring. If you have your license key from your receipt, you can install the game on the new computer and continue from there. The next couple of steps presume you lost the key.

First try here: https://qlm1.net/ootpdevelopments/qlmcustomersite/

I've also seen this reposted approach work for people in search of their key:

"Let's ensure you can see hidden files.

Select the Start button, then select Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization. Select Folder Options, then select the View tab. Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives, and then select OK. We are doing this because the AppData folder is typically hidden so people don't mess with it by accident.

Then navigate through the file folders to: C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Roaming\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 23\config .... and look for the key.cfg file. Obviously in the file folder I pasted "Name" is your name.

Right-click key.cfg and open it with Notepad. The computer won't know what to open it with so follow the prompts to manually select a program to open it with. There, in Notepad, is your key. Copy it. Paste it into a Word document so you have it and save that document. "

So, that's the process to find a lost key that I've seen posted and reposted over the years. Again, that first link I gave will also let you deactivate it from a computer that has gone kaput.

Once you have the game moved over (reinstalled on the new computer). Unregister it from the old one (if needed).

To move a save over, copy the .lg folder and move it to the same place it was on the new computer. Everything should be under that .lg folder but others can check me on that.

Thanks. I was able to this in the past, this time no luck. I am getting a message that the OOTP 24 setup is not a "Microsoft accepted app" - will not allow me to open, run or download it.

Man, that's a new one. Sorry to hear. You are downloading the .exe file from here correct?:

I just experienced that.
In my case i believe i downloaded the mac version instead of the pc version.

it was the PC version, deleted and re-tried it. No luck.

Thanks!

Thank you all. I got it figured out. The computer shipped in "S" mode, which means no apps or programs bought outside of Microsoft will work. I turned it off. All good!
