Swapping a hard drive with XP and PC-Dmis 4.1 to a similar PC?

Since you are a 4-head, you are still using the physical dongle.  YOU CAN install any version of Pcdmis UP TO the expire date programmed into the dongle without needing to contact anyone at Hex.

This is where you can find the old versions of the software (including the all important V3.7 MR4, the STEP file fix, under the custom/FORD folder, but it still shows MR3)

Now, you could GHOST the old hard drive (so you have an exact copy of it) and put the copy in the new PC box and see how it does.  IF it pukes on you, then re-install XP on that drive and reinstall Pcdmis over the old install of Pcdmis.  That "SHOULD" make everything fine and dandy.

Supposedly, yes but I was never able to do it. Even the mighty V3.7, which BTW is WAAAAY more stable then ANY version of V4.x. Those versions just gave me the dreaded Windows Blue Screen of Death. When I had to replace a hard drive in XP, I tried to reinstall V3.7 and it simply would not let me until I updated the SMA.

you probably didn't have the Aladdin Hasp Driver installed, and tech wouldn't have helped you with that when the SMA $$$$$ was lighting up their eyes.

If I recall... I couldn't start the install without the hasp driver installed. Been so long ago... And yes they saw BIG $$$$$.
