<p>When you purchased Moneydance you should have received an email
containing your license key. If you no longer have that email in
your records give me your full name and the email address you gave
when you purchased Moneydance I'll resend you the key. Once you
have the key enter it into Moneydance by selecting "Register
Moneydance" from the Help menu.</p>
<p>You can use the same key to register Moneydance on a second
computer. You will need to share your data file between the two
computers. The data file is a file that ends with the .md
extension, user your computer search function to search for it if
you don't know where you have it saved. How you share the file is
dependent on the operating systems you are using and how your
computers are networked together. My personal preference for
sharing the data file is to use the 3rd party tool called dropbox.
You can get it from here getdropbox.com</p>
<p>Sincerely</p>

computer, I<br>
didn't notice the "Trial" period message and entered 100
transactions<br>
in an existing file named : Banking_Jerry.md-2009-09-26 but now
it<br>
won't open.</p>
<p>I've registered MD on the 2nd computer but it won't open this
file<br>
which says it's a document. I get the error message: "There is
no<br>
default application specified to open the document<br>
“Banking_Jerry.md-2009-09-26”.</p>
<p>When I try to choose MD to open the file, MD is grayed our and
won't<br>
open.</p>
<p>The same thing happens if I take it back into the first
computer.</p>
<p>I tried importing it but that doesn't work either.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help,</p>
<p>Jerry</p></div>buythingtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/4030412009-09-27T00:48:34Z2009-09-27T00:48:34Zinstalling MD on 2nd computer<div><p>HI Jerry</p>
<p>Banking_Jerry.md-2009-09-26 is a backup file. Remove the date
from the end of the file name and you will be able to open it. i.e.
change the name of the file to<br>
Banking_Jerry.md</p>
<p>Sincerely</p>

unfortunately, every one of the 100 entries during the "trial"
period<br>
is gone. 4 hours of work. the last time on the file is correct,
10:02<br>
am... that's at the end of the time that I entered the data, but
that<br>
data is not there. the backup date at the end of the file is
correct<br>
too, it's for today. so how could all the data be gone?<br>
any ideas?<br>

<p>The daily backup file is automatically created by the software
the first time the main data file is saved for the day. There
should alsobe your primary data file somewhere on your computer. It
will have the same name as the backup file minus the date. You will
have specified its location when you first saved it. If you don't
know where it is try using your 1st computers search feature to
search for "Banking_Jerry.md" without the quotes. That should be
the most up to date file.</p>
<p>Sincerely</p>
