Help reinstalling software

[autobodyman]

I replaced my computer a while back and need to reinstall my carvewright software, mostly for the scanning of some of my carvings.
I checked the machine to get the numbers from it and the card that was left in it. Here is what it showed:
Firmware version 1.126
Secondary Revision 7
Firmware build 0123:161657

Here is a list of the updates I've downloaded over the years, though apparently I'm using 1.126 and it was working well on that.

80779

I have the scanning probe as well.
I also have quite a few patterns that I bought.

Any help on installing the software to get back to where I was before the computer replacement would be greatly appreciated.

I was hoping to scan some of the carvings I've done since I changed computers and get them uploaded to the carvewright pattern store.

Thank you. ~Mike Leslie

Mike,

First you need to down load the software... http://www.carvewright.com/project-designer/

Since you are already a registered user and IF you have only activated the software on ONE computer you should be able to get all back to normal by going to the help tab, manage license. http://support.carvewright.com/software_activation/#install

If you have 2 computers already set up you will need to call CarveWright to get the old one removed..

Any purchased patterns from the Depot can be downloaded from your user account.
