Lost my disc

[Gazzer1uk]

Hi there,

I am pretty sure during a clearout I threw the packaging and disc out but as has been updated on line, not an issue....

I now want to move the system to a laptop so I can use it in the lounge on my new wonderful 55 inch tele!!!

Obviously for Phoenix the licence and software are protected by the USB dongle, which clearly I have, its just (ha just) the software I need...

I tried downloading on the site, but the installer was looking for an early version.

So, can I download the software from somewhere, or can I get a new disc from Phoenix would anyone know. I can't get onto the Phoenix site at work due to restrictions, hence this message!

Many thanks,

Gaz

Just do a gost image of all your files and transver them to the new laptop, that's all they do in pc world if you want hard drive recovered,

Hope it helps kev

I can lend you my disc, or make a copy if that will work.
But there must be a download site somewhere...surely!
PM me if no joy.

I managed to move Phoenix from one machine to the other with out the discs. You need to copy all the files from the main

C:\Program Files (x86)\PhoenixRC and
C:\Program Files (x86)\PhoenixBuilder

folders together with the folders in your user's folder:-

C:\Users\Darren\Documents\PhoenixRC
C:\Users\Darren\Documents\PhoenixBuilder

pretty sure all i need to do was this and maybe run one of most reccent updates.

It was anout 8 months ago and my memory is a bit hazy

shall be doing it again on Thursday when my new laptop arrives, so hopefully can give better instructions

Do you download torrents Gaz?

If you do you can get a copy of the disk using them, I downloaded a copy last year trying to be pikey and ended up buying it anyway as it doesn't work unless it has the dongle lol.

Thanks guys,

If the security is built into the dongle as we know it is, then unless the software is registered to the MAC address on the PC, no reason why it shouldn't get copied over successfully I guess and it seems you have the evidence! I am not a torrents user so wont be going that route!

Many thanks for input, I have a bizzy couple of nights so will try over the weekend and let you know,

Cheers,

Gazzer

I've posted links to these files many times sitting in my Dropbox, look for a similar thread started by Dave Drew and you will find the links in there. You need to load and install the 2.0 first and then run the latest update 3.0 any version

The White Knight strikes again, thanks Wavey, all up and sorted, completely down to these links and your hard work!! I must get over to MK and purchase beer and bacon for you, so, so helpful to me!

Cheers,

Bugger, the laptop is all jerky even at low resolution..... probably a limitation of the graphics card as its got a decent ish processor and 4Gb..... oh well will play later, lunch break over!

Right have managed to get Phoenix working on my new laptop by simply copying the files from the old laptop.

1) copy the phoenix files as my instructions above,
2) install directX (C:\Program Files (x86)\PhoenixRC\setupFiles\utilities\DirectX\DXSET UP.exe)
3) run the update installer (C:\Program Files (x86)\PhoenixRC\phoenixUpdateInstaller.exe)

and bingo...

Hi Daz,

got to bugger around with things as the laptop is making it hard....... I work as a project manager in IT, so my technical side is limited but my knowledge of whom to ask immense..... I'll go ask!
