The keys are in the registry ND on "Transfer to new computer." http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/45#post-887 Sun, 07 Jan 2007 20:39:01 +0000 ND 887@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ I'm not so sure mirroring will work or even use the same harddrive on a new computer. It could for example take note of what what hardware you are using and stop working if you change. I think all programs can access info on what motherboard and so on you're using. If they are not working that way now, that's a tip for the GOTD-team. : ) If you like the software, buy it. I know a couple of them that I'll buy when I change computer.

When you install and activate something it leaves a reg key on your compy. The reg key has the activation key and username. And secondly, as long as the program doesn't phone home to see if the key is legit, then you could have multiple copies on one or more compys. But it's against the rules. k on "Transfer to new computer." http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/45#post-734 Fri, 05 Jan 2007 02:08:10 +0000 k 734@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ I'm amazed at the people who don't seem to understand the concept here. It's free for one day, not forever. If you can afford a new computer, can't you afford the software you enjoy using also? ;) MASA on "Transfer to new computer." http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/45#post-731 Fri, 05 Jan 2007 01:14:16 +0000 MASA 731@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Yeah the legality is questionable, but it would still work. Hypothetically. As you are just mirroring a drive, rather then re-installing. reinstalling requires you to fire up an executible. Normally when you mirror a drive, you will transfer the registry, as it holds all settings to almost all apps. So they will transfer unless you do it all manually. tjchan on "Transfer to new computer." http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/45#post-730 Fri, 05 Jan 2007 00:54:27 +0000 tjchan 730@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ That's the same type of question as re-installation which is against the philosophy/policies of GAoTD.

This isn't from personal exprience; it's more of an educated guess. If it doesn't work, there's no way I know of to transfer the giveaways.
