the game comes with 2 licenses. If you haven't used both, you can simply install on new comp and enter the serial number you got when buying the game.

if you want to keep both licenses or have used them already, you'll need to unliciense the game on your old computer.

you can find that under "File" on the main menu ... just go to "License" tab and follow the directions. Pretty simple really.

Then load game on new computer, and it'll ask you to enter the serial code .... i found it best to copy and paste EXACTLY (watch out for spaces at the end of copy ...) And you should be good to go.

Hope this helps a bit. enjoy the new machine.

It's actually a good idea to unlicense the game if you are no longer going to use it on the old computer. That way, you won't have to go through the hassle of requesting a license release if something happens to the new computer.
