    Reactivation after repair

    Reply Contact

    I've just had a new logic board fitted in my G5 and when I opened Quark 7 it wanted to be reactivated.

    Is this due to there being a new logic board?

    PowerMac G5, 2.7DP, 8Gb RAM; OSX 10.4.11 and 10.5.8 (on separate drives). (Also a PowerMac 7300 that's still running Quark 4.1 on OS 8.6 ...)

     Yes. The idea is supposed to be a detection of new hardware. Hard drives, logic boards, so forth. The thinking behind that is because the program is assuming you have transferred the program to a new computer. It's not aware enough to know that it's the same computer just a new logic board.
