Guys/Gals,

I have a BCM 3.0 and would like to upgrade to 4.0. Instead of
upgrading it to 3.6 or 3.7 than a 4.0, I find it easier to install a
4.0 HD and program from scratch. My only problem is that the keycodes
from the 3.x version is incompatible with 4.0. Is there a way that I
still can use my old keycodes?

Thanks in advance,

RT

Got my answer from NT. I have to upgrade to 3.7 than upgrade to 4.0,
but before upgrading to a 4.0 that's when they will give me the new
generated keycode. (total cost: too much $ client and too much time
for me) This whole process is a big joke. It's just like me upgrading
from Win95 to WinXP than to Vista- whereas I can format the HD and do a
clean install of VIsta and reload my programs. From my experence doing
a clean install is always better than upgrading. (BCM or PC) I really
don't see why it's soo hard for us to install a 4.0 HD from NT and get
all the clients keycode regenarated instead to taking the chances of
old corupt data and upgrade mishap.

Just my 2.5 pennies..

No help, but I agree, what a pain.
