Can someone please help? I am upgrading to a bigger hard drive (80 gigs) and will format the current one (8 gigs) as soon as i get done with the backups. I want to make sure my paid for Prince music files plus the new tour video will be able to play without licensing problems. I read the other license questions but they seem inconsistent.... i tried a test with a cd-r of the files and the hidden license backup folder and attempted to play them on another computer but it refused to play and still asked for a license. Does anyone know a for certain way that will guarantee my files to play on the new hard drive without paying for everything all over again? Thanks a bunch!

Easy. Burn your files unto a CD-R. Next time you play it on your computer, once your HD's been formatted, the Windows Media Player will ask for the license. Then all you have to do is re-entering your NPGMC username and password and a new license will be issued. It's either that or doing a backup of your current licenses.

Yep, burning on a cd-r and later re-issuing the licences online worked for me...
