Hi,
I changed the harddisk of my notebook and realized that I want to uninstall my MetaEdit licence. I installed the old harddisk again and tried to start MetaEdit. The program said that the hardware-fingerprint has changed (but it didn't - I used the old harddisk). Then I tried to launch the Key un-installer, but the program didn't start at all.
Can I uninstall MetaEdit and install it again (perhaps the key un-installer works then), or will my licence be lost if I do that?
cheers,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Each hardware fingerprint is based on information about the components of that PC, including its CPU, hard drive and network card. Changing one of these components, or adding a second component of that type, can change the hardware fingerprint.
Before doing this, a user should thus uninstall his MetaEdit+ key. If he does not, and the hardware update changes the fingerprint sufficiently, he will be unable to start MetaEdit+, and unable to uninstall his key – a key can only be uninstalled from a PC on which it is valid.
Please send your license details (license number and a short problem description) to: info@metacase.com, and your license can be freed manually by the MetaCase
