-==Licensing==
-;Is MusiCAD easily transferred from one PC to another without need of a new license?
-: A license for MusiCAD is hardware dependent and cannot be transferred to another computer. However, a second license is available for only 10 euro. Your music (saved on computer with a valid license) can be used anywhere without license.
-;I get 'funny' looking scores when I open music written on my laptop on my desktop. On my laptop everything looks OK...

-;I just bought a new computer and now I can't read my scores anymore; all notes are wrong!
+{{NavFAQ}}
-: Obviously you didn't have a (valid) license for your old computer...   To be able to use your scores again, buy a license, and email your scores to Musys Software so that we can unscramble your scores.  A licensed MusiCAD version will save scores unscrambled for use on any other computer.
-==Sound==
-;I can't hear music anymore from MusiCAD: Unavailability of sound within MusiCAD most likely has to do with a MIDI-level set to zero in the windows mixer settings. Installation of Windows Mediaplayer is likely known to have that side effect.
-:Try opening any .MID-file (not .WAV or .MP3) with another application (not MusiCAD) to verify that midi-playback is available an working.
-:If MIDI-files play alright in mediaplayer but MusiCAD is not able to play any of the demo-files you should verify the setting of [Options|MIDI-setup|Sound] to make sure a MIDI-driver is available. Also make sure that MIDI-playback isn't routed to a MIDI-port as most users will not have a MIDI-synthesizer/keyboard attached to their computer.
-:Quite a few Vista-installations do not install all MIDI-playback facilities out-of-the-box due to unavailable Vista-drivers... A MIDI-driver-update might be necessary.
