Have a different computer but no cd drive - I have version 3 on cd. How do I use my registration key from my cd purchase to activate the internet version? Many thanks

You can't use the Download version with a CD license.

If you map a drive from your main computer to your netbook you should be able to install it that way.

Thanks - I suspected tat may be the answer - so - can you tell me how to do it?

thanks

Do you have the two computers on the same network, are you able to copy files over the network between the computers?

What OS do you have on your desktop?

If you are likely to need a CD on the PC more frequently, there are some external CD drives that connect via USB available on Amazon & other suppliers for about £20.

Hi - no not likely to use CDs on new computer apart from this! The old computer has windows Vista and the new one windows 7. I have tried copying the files from the old one to the new one via a hard drive but when copied onto the new one but it will not work. If I map the drives to one another will it mean I have to be in range of the network to use the new computer?
many thanks

No just map it to install FH and then you un-map it.

OK - have mapped drive and can see files on original pc from netbook - however am unable to get program to run - it says there is an error on installation when I double click on application file and says I need to reinstall.

many thanks

Just to confirm, you have mapped the CD from your desktop and are running the setup.exe from the CD?
