New Laptop - How to transfer BYEOS?

[nahrstedt]

Old HP Windows laptop in midst of hard disk failure.  What is best way to download v 3.1 BYEOS Premium onto new Dell laptop for controlling T3i?  Do I need to purchase a new license/key (hope not).  Recommended approach would be appreciated.   tThx.

Your license key can be installed on multiple computers, as long as you only use 1 at a time. Just log onto the site with the same username that you used to purchase your license and scroll to the top of this page and click on My Purchases and Orders to see your key.

To get the program onto the new computer you can either transfer the installer, or download the latest version directly onto the new PC..

astroman133:  Since you were so helpful the first time, I have another question.  (BTW, the download on the new/second PC worked fine.)  

When I went to update (temp in F, start dither on start-up, etc) and hopefully save, the settings on the second download, it wouldn't save them after clicking Apply and Save.  I would make the changes, Apply, Save, close out Settings window, and then come back only to find that none of the updates were accepted.  I even tried to shutting down after Apply and Save, but no good.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

You should really start a new thread when you have another issue/question.  Adding non related questions to an existing thread dilutes the usefulness of the conversation and defeats the purpose.  Having a single issue/question per thread makes it more easy to follow and help.... and will help others in the future with similar issue when they perform a forum search.

This said, the link above from astroman should solve your issue.
