Guys,

Just got a shiny new laptop that came without a floppy drive….anyone have any ideas how I can get the AB activation file onto the new machine?

Would a USB key work or do I need to get a floppy drive?

Cheers

You can move the activations to a network drive and use them there. In fact if you use a thumb drive you have to map it so it looks like a network drive.

You can get activation help from AB tech support.

Hope this helps.
 
Why not buy a USB floppy drive for around £20?
 
just had the same problem. You can use a memory stick on a computer with a floppy. move the activation file to the memory stick and then move it to your new laptop.
 
sorry, should have let you know ages ago....

you can use a flash drive but you need to get a couple of little programs from the AB website
