new computer no floppy drive - 08/11/06 14:57

I bought A4 many years ago and have changed it over to different computers over the years. i recently bought a new computer with no 3.5 floppy so i cant use my key disk how do i convert the downloaded demo version to the full version ? (on my klast computer i purchased the upgrade to i believe A6 6.34) thanks.

get a USB floppy drive... They sell for somewhere around 10 bucks (for a cheap one). That may be your best bet. Otherwise, take it to a computer that does have a floppy drive, burn the key onto a CD, and transfer it over (if both of those solutions wernt obvious ).

Why didn't you keep the drive of your old one?

My new pc is running a 10 year old floppy... I just sprayed it to black as it had a white front

i guess i could .. i did scavenge the DVD drive out of the old pc. I guess i just thought that installing a 3.5 drive would be as usefull as trading in my keyboard for an ink well. guess i was wrong......
