Hello Richard,



Just for information, the local P3 provider here is 2+soft (probably your company acquired P3e/c from them)... you can ask assistance from them about your condition..



Cheers!

Thanks for all the feedback !! appreciate....



In short, I was working for a small consulting firm earlier this year, in Taiwan, and had to provide my own laptop and software. Now I am in Thailand, different employer, workstation provided and P3ec, but obviously want to keep my laptop version.... on my new laptop (at home).



I understand... that technically as I am with a different employer, that I should not continue to use my ex employer’s version of P3. Also that Primavera need to build in protection to prevent piracy... and if anyone could just copy across.... piracy would get out of hand !!!



I have the password... but not the disc... I don’t think my local Primavera office would be too sympathetic !!!



I seem to have two choices; keep my old laptop..... or stick with P3ec... which I’m struggling to adapt to (but I’m sure it’s a good product...for anyone in Corporate America)



I copied the folders across.... but couldn’t log in...

I thought it was all to do with the P3INI file....and maybe a few .dll files



thanks again for all the support... never heard of "Ghost" maybe that’s the answer !



Regards to all

May be you can try Ghost to transfer the whole HD to your new laptop. I’m not sure if it works.

That might work (but probably won’t.) P3 uses several dll’s and other program extensions that must be registered before P3 can run.



Without the source disk and the status of the registered owner of a valid serial number, you probably are not the legal owner of that software. The software might have been valid at one time when P3 was loaded on both your laptop and your work computer, but it appears that you and the work computer have parted ways (and the license with it.) If I am incorrect, then you need to re-apply to Primavera for a replacement of your software.

Hello,

As P3 is a Windows 3 16-bit app, you could copy the whole P3 folder and possible sub-folders, and all the p3 related files from the c:\windows folder.

All the best
