Transfer of License for OOTP2008

ptwarr18 · 06-10-2008, 04:29 PM

I've been running OOTP2008 on my old computer since purchasing it when it came out. My old computer is pretty bad lately, the only motivation I have to use it is because of my OOTP2008 game.

I got a new computer this week and I was wondering if I can disable the game on my old computer and transfer the license onto my new computer. (I know OOTP9 comes out in a week but I still need 2008 for my online league and I don't want to drop $20 when I know my league is upgrading soon.)

Thanks in advance.

Just unlicense OOTP on your old machine, install OOTP on the new one, and then license it.

In fact, you ought to be able to license your game on two computers simultaneously if you wish.

Do you need any further assistance?

Where exactly do I find the license number?

Do you have a receipt.txt file in your OOTP Baseball 8 folder? (The one that installs to Program Files by default.) If so, it should include an Order ID.

I'm sorry I have OOTP 2007. Sorry for the above type-o

ptwarr18 · 06-10-2008, 08:31 PM

But yes I have a recipt.txt for OOTP 2007

Nutlaw · 06-10-2008, 08:35 PM

So you found your Order ID inside of it?

Do you have any further questions?

ptwarr18 · 06-10-2008, 08:38 PM

Yeah I'm trying now. Thanks!
