loading mapsource on 2 computers

[The Foolish Fellow]

how do you load mapsource on 2 pc's
I have just aquired a new laptop and would like to have mapscource installed in it as well as on my pc.
How does one go about this?

I don't think that there's any problem. Just load it in and use the same unlock code for your maps.

No Probs, just do a normal install on the second PC.

You can find your unlock codes in 'Tools - Unlock Regions - Properties' on the first PC. Either manually enter on the new PC or 'Backup' on the first PC, copy the file over, then 'Restore' on the new one.

It's much easier to transfer your unlock codes to the second PC if you use the "export - restore" feature that Burnie described.

The file that is created when you export your unlock codes is TINY - my file only takes up less than 2kb on a floppy, and I have about a dozen unlock codes.

Might be a good idea to put the floppy in a safe place after you have done the transfer - that way, if your computer ever blows up, you won't have to go to a lot of trouble to re-enter all your unlocks.
