Transferring Dictionary from one PB to another

vmsda · 04-30-2015, 04:10 PM

I have a PB 622 , for which I bought from the Store a Collins English dictionary.

I have recently bought a PB 626, and would like to remove the Collins from the 622 and install it on the 626 instead. Is this possible?

And if it is not possible, how do I buy a dictionary now? I accessed the Store, but now the Store language seems to have changed, I guess it is Czech since my 626 came from there. So, not much help there.

PS. Just an aside. I have never seen such timid marketing as the one practised by whichever organisation is in charge of selling PBs and related stuff. The 622 came from Germany, I think. But when I tried to buy the 626 a few months ago, it was not easy to find a reseller, and the language barrier was ever present. What is going on, one wonders.

I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing you'll have to buy a new copy for the new device. It looks like the PBI file is tied to the serial number of the device you gave when you bought it. Here's the note at the end of the Pro Installation Manual for dictionaries:

Note:
You can only use the purchased dictionary file on one device with the same serial number as the number you have specified when buying the dictionary.
