Problem when moving to new computer

Post by jgeoghegan998 »

Long time registered user (back to 2016)
pdfXchange is installed on my desktop and laptop
Background: This week I had to replace my desktop. Bought new Dell. Downloaded the msi installer and ran it. When I installed pdfXchange and tried to register, it told me I was already using my two allowed instances. I did as instructed and uninstalled pdfXchange from my still working old desktop and I deleted the license on the pdf website. I was then able to successfully register the product.

I noticed when I ran the msi installed, I did not get the PDF Tools and PDFOffice2PDF tools installed. I rarely use them anyway, but found it odd they were not there. Now when I go to print something from Word or Chrome anywhere else, my print options only show PDF-Xchange Lite, not the normal PDF-Xchange Standard. What could be wrong?

EDIT
Blah.
Never mind, I'm an idiot.
I hadn't installed pdfXchangePRO.

All fixed now
