Dear Martin
I am in the same boat as Craig, i.e. want to upgrade from V4 to V6 but put it on a new computer.
However, there is one obstacle which I can't see yet the solution to:
You wrote, "Your v4 licences were inside your v4 Hauptwerk USB Key (HASP dongle), and when you install v6 on your new computer, you need to install the driver for the v4 dongle on the new computer, attach the v4 dongle to it temporarily, launch Hauptwerk v6, and migrate the contents of the v4 dongle to the iLok system that's used for licensing v5+."
The trouble is, I don't believe I still have the old dongle driver to install on the new machine, and as far as I'm aware, it's not available for download from HW, so how might I proceed?
Appreciate your advice!
Yours
Mike Bennett

Yes -- in that case it's no problem at all to upgrade your existing licence (no need to buy a new one, or to do anything on your old computer). Your v4 licences were inside your v4 Hauptwerk USB Key (HASP dongle), and when you install v6 on your new computer, you need to install the driver for the v4 dongle on the new computer, attach the v4 dongle to it temporarily, launch Hauptwerk v6, and migrate the contents of the v4 dongle to the iLok system that's used for licensing v5+. The 'upgrading' instructions in the Hauptwerk v6 user guide cover it, but Francois will be able to provide any additional help if needed.
