My laptop died how do I put my hex net/VCDS-Mobile on to a new computer
Yes, your license to use VCDS is embedded in your HEX-NET. This means you can download, install, and use VCDS on any computer that you wish.I have another problem the laptop that I purchased to replace the other laptop and installed the hex net program onto has a problem. The problem is with the mouse pad and the geek squad is telling me to trade it in for a new machine. Is there a procedure to solve this problem or can I just download the program again.
No need to delete VCDS. It doesn't do anything useful without an interface. But you may want to have a look in your Logs and Scans folders and grab whatever you've got there for posterity.The next question is should I delete the vcds program from the laptop before I turn it in to get a new computer? I probably should have planned ahead and asked this question in the first post.

Well, Uninstall won't work because you won't have any registry entries telling it what to uninistall. No big deal really.Is there any reason why I shouldn't just copy and paste the whole of the Ross-Tech directory (from the root of the Windows C: drive) straight into the new machine - or will that screw up the config if a virgin copy of VCDS has just been installed on the new machine?
Not that I am aware of.Will do - thanks.
BTW... I know the software development world hopes that Linux will just go away and die, but is there a good guide somewhere about getting VCDS running under Linux (Mint, latest version)? I've tried the link in the FAQ (IIRC) from a couple of years ago about getting it working under Wine, but it didn't work for me! Really would like to crack that one as VCDS is literally the only thing that I have to build my laptop top run Windows for (as well as dual-boot to Linux) and it's just a pain...
