Yes, I had 9.6 and 10.0 installed and working on the old system and I 
copied them both over together to the new system at the same time. 9.6 
worked OK but 10.0 claimed that it needed to be activated again.

I have to say that I can't understand why 10.0 would be finding 9.6's 
license file though - the license.dat file is in a specific place in the 
relevant CW directory so I can't see how they would get confused ?

I hope so. I imagine that I'll probably need to use CW from time to time 
for the next 2 - 3 years, maybe longer. I guess if/when MetroWerks 
closes down copletely somebody with the relevant reverse engineering 
skills will find a way to defeat the license mechanism so that people 
can go on using CW if they need to.
