Hello

Since i have the CD version of this and my new laptop doesn't have this facility how can i install the program?

My latest version on old laptop is 6.2.7. i have searched on the forum and cannot see anything to help in the last 5 years.
(i have my activation key for the version 6 upgrade)
thank you

If your old laptop is still working you could try sharing the CD/DVD drive. Another option would be to buy a cheap external DVD drve.

...or copy the contents of the CD to a "FH installation folder" and move that to the new PC using whatever method you find easiest so that you can run the install.
