Today I buy myself a new laptop because, to put it mildly, my old laptop (the one that I am using right now) is on life support. Its disc drive is failed, and to get this laptop to work, I had to reboot manually (pressing the off and on button) more than 20 times because it freezes most of the time after 5 minutes use. It also cannot shut down.

I have all of my ChessBase on this laptop, including the software of ChessBase 13, but also some DVD's where you need to enter the long PIN code to activate.

I have my databases backed up, so that is not the problem.

Is it possible to use the same codes that came with my ChessBase 13 disc when I install it on my new laptop? I still have the ChessBase 13 package with the disc and the long activation code. Also for the DVDs (both download and disc version) that I bought with ChessBase, are the DVD activation codes still going to work on my new laptop? Has anyone tried this before?
