Bought new PC and want to transfer playon

When I orginally installed playon on my desk top, I knew it barely met the requirements for playon to run. Worked a few times great, but now I see the "corrupted data" all the time. So I (like the FAQ section said to do - and because I wanted to) purchased a speedy new laptop. I want to know if there is a way to transfer playon from my old desktop to my new laptop without having to repurchase my license. I am by no means a computer techy guru, so please use layman's terms. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Actually all you need to do is go here
this will resend your license to you.

Then you just need to re-download the PlayOn software. and you will be good to go.

Hope that helps you out. ;)

Hi hmozuna and welcome to the forum :),

TRIP is correct, if you wish to get your "license code sent to you". Thanks TRIP for the information.

PlayOn can be installed on any Windows OS computer you want, as long as your only running it on "one" machine at a time (not at the same time - buying another license is the expection to the rule).

Also - I suggest you uninstall PlayOn from the current machine THEN install PlayOn onto the newer computer. As you can not run PlayOn on two machines with only one license. (Click Start- Control Panel - Add/Programs or Programs/Features).

Then you can either re-download all the plugins (http://www.playonplugins.com/) or if you know how to "zip" up your plugin folder - you could email that to yourself and unzip onto the newer machine. Copying/pasting the folder onto the machine would work also if you have usb flash drive or some other storage media/device.
