I purchased my copy of PGP Desktop v 9.8.3 several years ago and installed it on a PC running Windows XP. Due to a recent PC failure, it will be necessary for me to re-install the software on to a new PC running Windows 7. Will the license key that I was provided at the time of purchase allow me to do this?
Also, for some years after the purchase of v 9.8.3, I continued a licensing agreement with PGP that allowed me to download updates to the software as they became available. The last update that I downloaded was v 10.1.2. At the time of the download (May 2011) I received an email providing me with a new license key. However, I never bothered to load the update since I had no complaints with v 9.8.3.
Given that I will be performing a fresh install of the program, I assume that I should install the more recent version. Does anyone know of any reason this should not be done? Or if there is some reason that the license key that I was provided in 2011 would fail to activate the product?
