Question about transferring licenses...

I'm about to get rid of this computer and buy another one. The game is licensed on this computer's hard drive, which will be getting installed in the new computer as an extra hard drive. Will the license transfer with the hard drive automatically or do I have to do something else?

i don't know the answer to that question. but it's easy to un-license and then re-license. (obviously, Just remember to write (copy) the code EXACTLY.... and to re-type it exactly ... maybe put it on a flash drive or something so you don't need to type it, just cut/paste it?)
so to be safe, that's what i'd do. (it's under file - settings - license in case you need to know...)
good luck and enjoy the new machine. i'm envious!
