Hi @Bkone17,

From what I have read here in this forum thread, you shouldn't have any problems. I think BrillKids fully understands that ordinary personal users (like you and me) may need to reinstall and reactivate the software on occasions where we are replacing our computer or needing to reformat or reset our computer. They've explained in this thread that if you have to replace your computer, then you can deactivate (perhaps unregister?) the software license from your old computer and then re-activate the software on your new computer. And, if you have to again replace that computer sometime in the future, then you can repeat the process and re-activate it again on the next new computer. The built-in limit for re-activations is two times, but they have said in this forum thread that if we run into an issue where we have to replace our computer again and we've run out of activations, then customer support can help us reset the activation count to allow us to re-activate it again. They just don't want us to abuse the system.

I think the intent is to prevent people from purchasing one license and then sharing it with many other people who really should each buy their own license of the software for their personal use. And, their shopping page for the software clearly says, "Includes ONE key for ONE PC". I think it is reasonable for BrillKids to set up their software license activation system this way to try to reduce fraud and abuse, but at the same time allow legitimate transfers from one computer to another computer for the original purchaser of the software license. It's sad that BrillKids has seen an increase in fraud and abuse lately. That not only hurts BrillKids, but it also hurts all of us who are ordinary, personal users who are trying to follow the rules. However, I think BrillKids' licensing enforcement policies and mechanisms do offer us (ordinary, personal users) enough freedom to transfer our license to a new computer when we need to (for our personal use).

I, myself, am new to this program. I have only just purchased a bundle package (less than 24 hours ago), and I'm looking forward to seeing how it can help my little one learn and grow in the coming years of his life. (He is only four months old right now.)

I will probably be facing a situation where I'll need to re-activate the software in the semi-near to semi-distant future. My personal laptop computer is starting to get a bit old, and I think I might replace it this year or next year. When that time comes, I will get to see firsthand how easy (or difficult) it will be to transfer the license.

Cheers and good luck to everyone.
