Thread: Question about 2.0 download

My husband and I are looking for a new computer...since I just bought the 2.0 it says it is only good until October 2nd...I've already downloaded it onto our current computer but is there any way to get all of it onto our new computer once we get one? I bought the 2.0 plus the baby expansion..and I got the freebie Life is Beautiful with it too. Please let me know, thanks!

Simply download the software and then burn a backup copy on to a CD-R or DVD-R. Then you can install it on your new computer when you get it!

I have a cd-rom but no burner...is there any other way to do it?

Save to a external harddrive or flashdrive.

there are sites online that can host large files

I have a nutty question that applies here--where do you go to burn to cd? I don't have a cd burner on the actual computer but bought a cd writer that works fine. Is the concept the same as burning regular files to cd?

I'm also planning on getting a new computer within the next 6 months. Have an external hard drive which I use for all my kits, photos etc. Am also planning on moving all the downloads for the programs that I use so that they will be available for installing on the new computer.
It's worth it to purchase an ehd and it is a good backup too.
