Converting to Mac from PC

[flatsix518]

My PC died and I've decided to move to a Mac. I'd like to "convert" to the Mac version of FoG.

1. Do I have to purchase Mac FoG, or can I be set up to download the Mac versions (I have all my registration numbers -- and they're in my profile).
2. Will my "old" registration numbers work with the new Mac downloads -- or will I have to use Mac-specific registrations?
3. If I have to use "new" registration numbers -- what will happen when I register them. Will I be able to do multi-play with the Mac installs using my old "multiplayer persona -- i.e. flatsix518 -- or will I have to have a new multi-player registration. I'm hoping I can continue with my current persona -- I'm known by it and have two games in progress.

Thanks in advance. I'm getting my new computer today.

Rather than create the dilemna of downloading the Mac versions of the games that have Mac versions, I created a PC Virtual Machine using VMWare Fusion 4 and Windows 7. (I needed to do this anyway.)

I'm 100% whole on FoG. I had a v1.5 setup exe that ran just fine. All I had to do then was to upgrade to 1.7 and put in my registration codes. That is brilliant! (Bundling all the army packs in the upgrades and enabling them with keys.) If anything, FoG runs better on my PC VM on top of Mac than it does on native PC.

I'm also substantially whole on PanzerCorps, as well. The only thing I lack is the final Grand Campaign ('41). The setup exe was located in the app_data area. My tech and I thought it was too risky to copy files from there, so I still need to get a new download of '41. Other than that, I'm 100%.

I wish I could say the same for Commander Napoleon. It isn't running correctly on my emulator. I'm pretty sure it's because it needs some Java or Flash packet -- or something to work correctly. So I may go the Mac version on that.

At the moment we have no process to convert from PC to Mac. We're looking in to it but at teh moment the only way is to buy the bsae game again. However all expansions can be unlocked on both so you do nto need to buy them again.

NOTE : If you want to continue games from your PC to Mac in multuiplayer be sure to use the PC serial on the Mac.

Thank you, Ian.

I guess the only thing I have left to ask, is if I can get a download of the PanzerCorps DLC '41.

The original download in in an area of my PC that we quarantined, so I can't take it off -- even in "safe mode". Otherwise I'm pretty well fixed.

Just realized this had drifted away from being a FoG thingy...
