1) Install the latest Beta (currently 0.78) on your new machine.

2) Test it to make sure it works properly on that machine. Contact us
for support if you have any difficulties.

3) Send the serial number from the About screen to use and we'll send
you a new Activation Code, subject to the following caveat:

* Depending factors too numerous to list (and franky,
some of them are subjective judgements) we may or may
not insist that a user send us a De-Activation code
from a prior installation.

* To generate a De-Activation Code, you need version
0.76 or newer on the old, previously avctivated
machine. In other words, if you've got an older
version on that machine, you may have to update it.

* The best way to send the De-Activation code is to
grab the DE-ACT.TXT file that is generated in the
VAG-COM folder when you use the De-Activate button.

Additional notes:

* Please send all correspondence having to do with
Activation Requests or De-Activation codes to:
Activation@...

* The "Transfer" stuff (using a floppy disk) remains
unimplemented.

I hope that covers it. Yes, you're right, I should add this to the
FAQ...
