Subject: Install/Upgrade new version?

Hi,

I have purchased MyUSBOnly a few weeks ago and noticed there is a new version now. How do I go about upgrading to the newer version without locking my activation keys?

I mean do I simply uninstall the program on the existing computers (I have a three user key) then go and download the newer program and install again without problems?

The reason I'm asking is because when I first purcahsed and installed on one of my new computers without much problems. I continued to install other software on the new computer but then it became unstable and I had to reformat during which point it wouldn't allow me to install again saying I had used all my keys.

I did send a request to your technical support and believe the issue has been resolved (haven't had time to reinstall yet) but I don't want to go and uninstall to try and get the lastest version only to find I've locked myself out.

Is there a place where I can find detailed install/upgrade instructions?

Thanks.

Go and download the newer program and install again, you do not need to uninstall your existing version.
During install progress, just leave "Trial" on the serial number input box. The previous key should be keep and retrieve correctly.

If you want to reinstall your Windows, you can backup the key.bin file for later restore.
Windows 2000/XP key.bin location: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MyUSBOnly\key.bin
Windows Vista key.bin location: C:\ProgramData\MyUSBOnly\key.bin
