Yes you do have to save both since you have purchased an upgrade. Once you get ATI installed and have rebooted, then uninstall MaxBlast since it loads a low level driver which isn't needed now that ATI is installed. Thus, if you previously had Maxblast or similar program installed (Seagate provided a similar program with their hard disks) but that program no longer is present and you can't reinstall it for lack of the CD which came with your hard drive, then you will not be able to reinstall your paid-for ATI2009 Upgrade unless you first reinstall Maxblast or the equivalent Seagate drive cloning software.Īnyway, try installing MaxBlast, reboot, and then see if you can run the ATI installer without it asking you for a previous serial number. So, at least as far as ATI2009 Upgrade is concerned, its installer didn't see any qualifying installed product (Maxblast in this case) for the upgrade to automatically install using just the serial number provided when you purchased the upgrade. As mentioned in other threads, the licensing methodology has been changed in ATI versions subsequent to ATI2009, so this issue doesn't affect ATI2010 users. Well, it turned out that I had uninstalled Maxtor Maxblast (program is based on Acronis ATI) and apparent the Maxblast CD got thrown out with the trash long ago. The installer kept asking for the serial number of the previous product. I ran into this issue with trying to reinstall my paid-for ATI2009 Upgrade.
