How to register product - please read entire post

Post by Flipper »

I bought a new M5 Mac and the download from the website is flagged as incompatible. So, I copied the app from my old computer to the new computer.
Now the app on the new computer is not registered. I can't find anywhere in eh app to register it.
Any ideas?

Good day to you Flipper!

We just recently upgraded to a MacBook Air with M5 Silicon chip. We did the same thing, where we copied the app over from the old computer to the new one. To get the app to realize it is a licensed copy and not just the Trial version we searched our old computer for a file that ends in mdlicence which allowed us to find our original licence file. We were then able to apply that licence file to MacDive on the new system by dragging the file onto the open MacDive window.

If you do not still have the mdlicence file on your old computer or in a TimeMachine backup you might be able to find the original e-mail from when you purchased the licence which will contain a link to get the licence file. I think I saw a post saying the link was still working for people, I am not sure. When you click the link it will open a blank page in your web browser and automatically download the licence file to wherever your downloads usually go.

Hopefully this will work for you.

Have a great day!
