THere is a release license in the FDRS when it asks you to log in.. Select release license and in 15 mins it will be available for another machine.. THis was a good catch though and glad someone mentioned it. If you didnt do it prior to erasing FDRS then reinstall and then do it
Definitely a good catch. It would have taken a phone call and/or emails and probably many wasted days. I did try a clean install also which didn't work. The SSD is another great idea. I have one in the newer computer of course. The wifi card I think was another issue with my older computer. You can limp an older computer along but restarts and reinstalls only go so far and waste time and add to an already frustrating situation. Either way if you can borrow a laptop to see if it helps that is best before spending any money on upgrades. The license return for me took only a minute.THere is a release license in the FDRS when it asks you to log in.. Select release license and in 15 mins it will be available for another machine..

Correct. It was mentioned earlier in the thread that the license was machine-specific when someone wanted to set up a program for sharing license keys. No-go. Another example where prior wisdom can head-off future headaches.
Programable module installation option in FDRS
Programmable Module Installation. It completes the configuration of a module and if necessary installs software where prior installations did not run fully. Two options—original module in place and new module. Generally it’s the latter that works. If you click a module in FDRS, you’ll see a list of tools come up, including PMI.
I recall now seeing that earlier in the thread but my mind went to "sharing" between people and not having to potentially switch to another computer. Night shift certainly isn't helping my thinking lol. Ill be sure to release the license as @Jesse-Infotainment mentioned. Definitely a good catch.
I wouldn’t bother running another PMI if you plan to do it with the Nano. I doubt it will work—the Nano is probably why the update isn’t completing properly—and @Bob_Mac may have some insight to add about the perils of multiple PMIs, when the first was unsuccessful. If you want to try again, you will probably have to borrow or buy another, more reliable adapter.
