Dear Darcy,
It's hopeless.
I've copied from my PPC and removed all prefs and the "location.txt" as
you suggested, but to no avail. A message come up, displaying "Finale
cannot start the Registration Wizard because a required data file
(location.txt, Dealers_Fin.txt) was not found in the Component Files
folder".
Then, after trashing all the copies, I tried a new install from my
original CD with the same removing actions and obtain the same results.
Clicking the Remind Me Later in the Register Window let me yet work in
Demo mode: that is 30 days from today after the new install. But those
trial period is over after copying my former app from the PPC.
I can open the Registration Finale… under the Help Menu in the newly
installed, but this doesn't let me fill in my country (Belgium). And
when I then click the Next button, Finale quits.
BTW the same behavior happens with 2k5 as with 2k5b as well.
I send you FWIW the bug report off-list.
What am I doing wrong? Can you assist me further?
As you've probably noticed, english isn't my mother tongue, so phone to
MM isn't my "favourite thing". I can read and a few ideas write, but
can speak only a few words and don't understand your language very well
when someone talk to me.
Thank you for any advice,
Sincerely yours,
Hans

Hi Hans,
It used to be impossible to run the registration tool under Rosetta,
but due to improvements in Rosetta in recent OS X updates that is no
longer the case. Finale 2004-2006 all work just fine under Rosetta,
registration included.
Delete all Fin2005 prefs and remove the "location.txt" file from your
Fin2005 Component Files folder and you should be fine. You will be
prompted to register, so make sure you have a spare registration for
the new computer -- or call MM and get them to deactivate your old
Fin2005 registrations. (Call now! Don't wait till tomorrow -- MM are
closed on the weekend.)
Cheers,
- Darcy
