Switching to New Computer

MickeyC · 02-08-2008, 10:24 PM

My company bought me a new laptop so I need to switch my Library etc over.

I seem to recall you can have up to six computers authorized to maintain your library. So, do I just load the software on my new laptop and re-register with my reader.

You just load the software on the new computer & if you're using Sony drm'd books you authorize the software. If you won't be using it on the old computer you can de-authorize that copy from the computer it's installed on.

If you are not going to be using the old computer to log into the eBook Store, then deauthorize it before uninstalling eBook Library.

Once you have installed eBook Library on the new laptop, just log into the account and make sure it's authorized.
