Preparing for Ver4

Post by rgbinns »

I am wondering if I moved the P3D ver3.4 directory from my SSD onto a HDD and then changed the disc letter to the one that was on the SSD would everything work?
I would then install P3D ver4 onto the SSD.
Thanks for any advice,
KInd regards
Richard.

Nope.... you can't just move it. The license would be invalid and then you'd have to request a reset on your license.

you could clone the drive and do it that way.

Don't mess with your license, unless you seek to sit for up to 48hrs+ to get Lockheed-Martin to reset it because you didn't want to take the time to uninstall/reinstall.

There is no intelligent reason to risk fragging your license.

Seriously, just install it properly. It's a one-off operation that frankly doesn't take long. You'll be safe in the knowledge of knowing you did everything by the book. Why take the risk of messing everything up?
