Transfer a Castaway licence to another computer (same user)

Moving a Castaway licence to a new computer involves 3 steps:

• install Castaway on the new computer

• report the machine IDs of the old and new computers

• uninstall Castaway from the old computer

Your Castaway data files are transportables. Think of them as similar to Microsoft Excel or Word files, so they can be moved around and opened by other instances of Castaway. They will not be affected by moving licence.

The process for moving a Castaway licence to a new computer depends on whether the new computer has the latest version of Castaway installed. Click here to check your Castaway version. So, if the new computer:
