I have a similar problem just discovered today.

The floppy did have 3 authorizations and two were used up on long departed hard drives so those can't be re-installed to the floppy.

There is one authorization left and i used that today. And if something goes wrong then all i have is the floppy disk itself to authorize the launch/running but that sure is a pain in the studio.

Has anyone had success using FileBuddy to grab the invisible authorization file on the hard drive and copy that to a floppy ?
