Hi Ann, If you go to the Help menu, and select "About DBT", you will find a "Deactivate" button there. However, normally you should be able to activate the new one even before deactivating the old one. (Unless somehow your existing install count is above 1 or 2) What exactly is the error message that comes up on the new one when you try to activate? Is it possible that you have an active firewall which is preventing the Duxbury Server talking to your system?
