I bought a new laptop, and the licensed version of Algodoo is on my old laptop. which was just re-formatted -_-"
How would i get my serial number again, and is it even possible to use it a second time?
(and don't talk to me like i'm new, iv'e been here since Phun 3.5!)

Oh, sup Ace.
Anyway, you can use the license key again, of course. It would be a rip-off if you couldn't. You just can't use it in two computers at the same time(both connected to the internet). I believe it automatically disables the other Algodoo if you register using the same key on two computers.
Just try it and it'll work.

Hey rich, long time no-see! and to get my serial code i just email Algodoo, or is there a simpler way to obtain it?

If you bought Algodoo, it should be in an e-mail. That was the way I got it(I was a beta-tester so it's probably different, but I think it isn't).

Actually, I think Ken said that if you keep switching back and forth, the code becomes unusable, so you have to uninstall Algodoo on the other computer before putting it on the other. I might be wrong, though, so let's wait for Ken or Emil to tell us.
And hi, Ace (he probably doesn't remember me
).

You can use it as many times as you want...as long as only one of those computers has internet connection.

And that my friend is a violation of the EULA and the software copyright and is illegal in many countries.
Heya Ace! Welcome back to Phun! (Er, Algodoo
)

I did mention in the first post, but the last computer with it installed was completely reformatted and had everything erased off it :/
It cant be a illegal distribution, because no other computer right now has it installed with that serial code.
which, after 5 days i have not received through email >_>
