[Manifold-l] Re-install 7.x

[F Whiteley]

I too have just (yesterday) had a hardware failure on my desktop.

I upgraded my portable a while back, but not the 6.5 version on the desktop.

I assumed that as I still have activation keys available that I will be able
to re-install.

I will look forward to any suggestions.

(To emphasise the risk, one of my main clients has had two hard disk
failures in four months, both less than a year old.)

Subject: [Manifold-l] Re-install 7.x

I just suffered a catastrophic loss of my desktop machine, along with  
Manifold 7.x.  I've run into major problems trying to install on my  
new machine, as follows.

I don't have a disc with 7.x, only the downloaded upgrade from  
version 6.5.  and a serial number for 7.x obtained at the same time.  
The d/l only installed on top of a copy of 6.5, so I tried to  
reinstall 6.5 from the CD, which I did have. However, 6.5 won't run  
because the serial number is older than 30 days. Moreover, I can't  
get support for it, because it is not the current version, so I can't  
get a new serial number.

Anyone have ANY idea how I can get 7.x on my desktop, other than buy  
a new disc at full price? I still have it on my laptop, but I'd sure  
like to see it on my 24" screen.
