* You will be free to install ACX, or copy the program files along with
your License Key, to other personal, noncommercial computers which you own or ar
e the primary operator of without having to pay for a new License Key!
* If you lose your License Key file, you will no longer have to contact
12Bytes to ask for a new one as long as you remember the email address used when
purchasing your license.
Before updating please have ready the email address you used for payment
(this will be used to verify your registration).
The old License Key file (acx_key.dat) can be deleted (resides wherever
you installed ACX)
::: CONFIG CHANGE :::
the configuration file (config.ini) is now stored where acx.exe resides
instead of users application data directory (for portability)...
- if you want to save your old settings, move the old config.ini to the
folder where you installed ACX, then delete the old AutoClipX folder in your app
lication data directory...
- to find this folder quickly, open an explorer window and enter: %APPDA
