I was able to transfer the Sibelius license over to a new machine. Check out their website, contact them directly if you have to when the time comes.

Also, my old Sibelius 4 allows for me to run the software on 2 machines at the same time, you may want to check into that, when I transferred, I authorized on one while the older machine was still up and running.

Maybe I'll be able to load window 7 on my old machine, I'll have to research that. Still will be a hassle reloading my softwares. I hope the companies will let me.


IME only those machines that were introduced with XP on them toward the release of Win7 are fast enough to make that a worthwhile prospect. And many of the XP machines the motherboards don't allow enough RAM to make good use of Win7 as well.

The good news is that microsoft has a way to find out if your machine can run Win7 and also will tell you how well to expect it to run Win7 to a certain extent.

You can download and run the little proggie directly from Microsoft:
