I am currently using [an older version of] Registry Mechanic Version,which does not expire until November 10, 2008. If I decide to upgrade toVersion 8, am I eligible for any form of rebate and,2. Prior to installing Version 8 do I have to uninstall the old version, and3. If I wish to install Registry Mechanic Version 8 on both of my computers(Windows XP Home SP3 and Windows Vista Home Premium SP1) am I right inassuming that I will need to purchase 2 copies of Version 8?My response:1. Unfortunately, there is no rebate on your previous Registry Mechanic, and 2. Yes, it is recommended that you uninstall the previous version beforepurchasing the new one to ensure you qualify for the discount, and3. 1 registered version of Registry Mechanic can be used on up to 3 computersas far as I understand.Please also note that your purchase would be used to fund infopackets.com,which is desperately needed at the moment.
