I think you got the right one. In MediaMonkey, click Help > About, and at the top, it'll show you details about the license you have: "MediaMonkey Gold (<type>) to <your name>"

I think perhaps your confusion was in reference to Rusty saying 4.x/5.x licenses are cheaper?
The coupon code was just a coupon code for a discount; it didn't automatically downgrade the license you bought. :slight_smile:

MediaMonkey has two kinds of licenses: x.x and lifetime:
- An x.x license is cheaper and provides upgrades for the current release. e.g. a MediaMonkey 4.x license purchased in 2011 has received upgrades to every MediaMonkey 4.x release through today, but it won't receive upgrades to MediaMonkey 5.x.
- A Lifetime license costs more, but provides upgrades to _all_ future releases. e.g. MM 4.x, 5.x, 6.x.

The issue that was raised was about how to re-enter a license if a valid one already exists.

Well, that confused me also.

I recently purchased MM5 licenses using the 'THANKS-MM5-BETATESTERS' code posted on the releases thread.
I thought it was lifetime, but after reading that, I guess it's not. 😕

Can I upgrade it?

It says "Lifetime" here. This is where I purchased it from.

Edit:
After visiting the MyCommerce site a few times, It think there is a problem with it.
It doesn't always load the same way, especially in Firefox.

[EDIT: Similarly a 5.x Gold license purchased today will include updates to 5.0.1, 5.1.x, 5.2.x, etc. but not 6.x].
- A Lifetime license costs more, but provides upgrades to _all_ future releases. e.g. MM 4.x, 5.x, 6.x.

Portable version or standard version?
Why do you need to replace the licence?
Yeap. For both in MM4 and MM5.
Standard Version.
I decided to change to another one. Due to couple of reason. One being name change. Hence, I recently got a new life time licence.
How can I do it while keeping all my existing settings. It is done via registry?
?????? Lifetime means just that. The only thing that matters is that they allow you access to the app...all that registry stuff is nonsense. All upgraded apps hook onto prior settings...do not require much of anything unless it is MONEY to pay them!

Yes, for standard version you can clean the registry values.
i.e. run regedit
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MediaMonkey
and clean Username and Password values

Hello,

I would like to know, how can I delete/change my existing license and enter a new license?

Thank you.
