Does the RS license key need to be reissued when switching from WindowsXP to Windows7?

From within: “when RobotStudio is reinstalled it asks for a liscense key. Send an email to ABB using the link in the software, include your assigned liscense key for your machine and explain that you recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and need the liscense.bin file to reactivate your software. You will have to manually install the liscense but when you do just navigate to wherever you saved your .bin file on your computer.”

You need to contact our license support to get a new key for the upgraded computer.
