Conflow Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Digi,To find your RegKey the following should help...Open your PTE Program Folderand look for a Notepad File called Reg. (See "Attachment" below.)A 'sure-fire' way of transferring your Pte Program to your Main PC is simplycopy the entire PTE Folder on to a Memory Pen and 'move' that Folder onto your Main PC. (I did say 'move' the Folder not copy it on to the Main PC)Then turn off your Main Pc and give it a fresh New Start.That should work.Brian.Conflow.

xahu34 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hello Brian,I don't think that your move procedure will work. In version 5 the key seems to be contained somewhere in the registry. Best regardsXaverMunich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conflow Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hi Xaver,"Digi" never mentioned which version he wants to move, but this works with all 4xxVersionsbut as yet I have not tried it with 5xxVersions. I see no problem because he still has to copyhis 'RegKey' into the Program and many Users make a Notepad .txt File of the Key for easy of Copy and Entry into all PTE-Programs. The reason I suggested 'Copy & Move' the entire Folder is because he may have made someTemplates of various Shows ~ with copy/moving the entire Folder he is less likely to loose these.Even if he has lost his 'RegKey' all he has to do is send Igor his 'Forum Membership Number' forsales-validation and he should get a duplicate of it.Most likely he already has the Regkey in the PTE-Folder ~ let's wait and see.Regards from Dublin.Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cox Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Digi remember the old saying"JESUS SAVES"it is one of the first rules of computing better keep close track of the paperwork for the new computer you can try writing to wnsoft explaining your situation -- if you use the forum search you will find many entries -- you are not the firstken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xahu34 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hello,New installation with key from old computer: The value of the key can be found using regedit on the old computer and searchig for "PTE" (you will find an entry like: "key"="....."). Use the text file given in the attachment and replace the stars by the (very long) key value. Install PTE on the new machine and use key.txt.Best regardsXaverMunichKey.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digiphotology Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks to everyone for their helpful suggestions. I shall have a go at sorting it out this evening.As a matter of interest what happened to the Move option when you right click in Windows Explorer XP and Vista? Looks like it needs a Registry hack to make it work in these OS's!CheersDigi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiphotology Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I managed to find the email with the Key so I downloaded 5.5, added the Reg.txt and Bingo back in business. Thanks again guys for your prompt help.Digi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
