Uninstalling sw2008 Beta

I am trying to uninstall sw2008 Beta but I was presented with the
warning about transferring my license prior to uninstalling the
software so I canceled the uninstall process. Can anyone tell me if
when installing a beta version does solidwork record that installation
as one of the users two installs? I do not seem to recall activing the
beta installation but at this point I cannot remember.

Should I follow the instructions for transfering the license prior to
uninstalling even though it is a beta install?



Thanks,

Sam

 

Yes, you should return/uninstall/de-activate your license before
uninstalling SW2008 Beta. Yes, SW counts it as an install against
your number of installs you have available for that serial number.

Go to Help > Transfer License. It is pretty easy and takes only a
minute or two over the internet.

No... I got the same message, and if I recall it right, it also said
that if You're about to install a new version after this on the same
computer ..... A lot of people here has a number of versions on the
same computer

No... I got the same message, and if I recall it right, it also said
that if You're about to install a new version after this on the same
computer, You just proceed and SW will automatically transfer the
license to next installation.

 

I should have included that I had already installed 2008 prior to
attempting to uninstall Beta 2008, in hindsight that is probably bad
practice. I guess I should have uninstalled the beta version, cleaned
up the registry then installed sw2008sp0.0. In that case I would
probably follow Annas' suggesion of trasferring the license even
though it does not appear to be a requirement.


Thanks for the replys
