Porthos, thanks for how to do it. I searched but never found the option.

I was grateful and lucky that I provided enough information to have them transfer my ID/Key over to a new account.

I have three licenses linked to two other notebooks which are all active and the last license was bought
when the Mb version was 1xxx. This was a Long time ago. When I installed MB on this notebook, they
automatically activated that license onto this new notebook without me asking. I was very surprised and
really happy that they did this. I do have an account from the first license which is a lifetime one.
Are they still selling those nowadays ? I ask because I haven't seen any offered when I logged in the last time.

Lifetime ones were discontinued in mid-2014. If you find one anywhere they are NOT legitimate.

Yeah, I hadn't been to the MB forums in a long time, finally went back there to see if there is a way to get MB to run on XP with updated definitions.

Last night I saw the MB 5 Beta thread so I downloaded it to run on my host, like in days of old. Haven't gotten around to installing it yet, though.
