Hi all,

Hope you all had a good christmas,

I now have a Samsung nc10 notebook, and im looking at putting my PE5 software on it. I have installed it on my main computer and went into program files and dragged the folder. it starts up ok but won't let me get any furth as i obviously havn't entered the product code this time although i have the product code, it isn't aking for it just refusing.

Is there anyway for me to be able to enter the product key to get it working or anyway of getting the software on it.

Also i have a couple of games i would like to put on it, it wants the CD but obvioulsy i can't put it in as there is no disk drive is there a way to do this as well?

Thanks

Mark
 
Best thing I've found is to get a USB memory stick and copy the install CD onto it from the desktop PC and then install it on the netbook. If you get an 8Gb one then it will take a full DVD install if you want and 7dayshop have them for under a tenner.

Copying the files from your 'program files' folder will never work since the program installer needs to make changes in the registry as well, not just have the files there. Grumpybadger is right though, but i think you can get external dvd drives which might be the ticket if you have a netbook
 
A few of the guys at work have netbooks and they have found the best method for most stuff is to use a usb flash drive, though there are some apps where this won't work as it checks for the cd while installing and freaks out.
