As I am rebuilding my PC set-up (after a hard disk FAILURE) I ran into an issue with one of my favorite applications, Market Samurai...
For those of you that don't know Market Samurai is a suite of tools used to research, promote and reverse engineer (the competition) niche market websites. If you sell online, or plan to, This tool is amazing... check it out
Any-who... here's a tip for Samurais - Remember to DEACTIVATE your currently active installation(s) if you plan to move to a different / new computer...
If you fail (or are unable) to do this your active installations limit will NOT allow you to activate your fresh install. If you can NOT deactivate, due to a crash like I had, you should contact Samurai support and they'll do it for you.
In my situation I remembered this, but only half way.
I ALWAYS set up my PCs with multiple users (one as Administrator) and the other identities for regular use. Well I forgot to deactivate the regular user identity of the installation. Luckily I was able to plug in the failing hard drive and managed to boot up, run Market Samurai and deactivate BOTH Identities.
So the moral of the story, to re-cap is:
Remember which user IDs are activated Market Samurai users on your machine(s) and DEACTIVATE their installation if you need to move it. (or you'll be contacting support to clear them all)
