Good nigth.

Always with troubles. I've just updated two of my systems, and now I have two installations more. And becouse it was not deleted when I choose to change my systems now I'm not be able to install new updates.
I've changed my systems two weeks ago, but FileSync tells me that till the end of July in one case, and till august 12 that old systems will not be deleted to maintain my six systems updated. This is still very weird.
Why I can't change my sistems from one day to another instead of wait fifteen days or more?

In case that you can delete systems that I'm not using, the old ones are the two Gigabyte X58-UD4.
And another one question is Why my two new systems does not apears or it says only Asus? Maybe the UEFI bios? How can I identify this two systems, becouse of my seven installations, two each are for this two
computers?

Thanks in advance. and sorry for my bad english.

Yeah, the activation system could be better, although I can't speak to how difficult it would be. It's a tough balance between convenience and abuse. You could select to remove the old activations, even though it will take time for them to actually be removed, but then you can just 'extend' the donation from 3 to however many you need temporarily, then switch it back to 3 after the removals are processed. Identification would definitely be better by computer name or something

Or, at least for the time being, install the free (non-donation) version of FFS on your new systems.

Thansks for your support.

xCSxXenon. That's what I'd do. Instead on six systems, I use now eigth systems, buit yesterday the last system I've updated crashed with a total disk failure (kingston s11.firmware), so I have to install all the stuff again, and instead of eigth systems now I have nine, only one or two months, but it is annoying.

Plerry. The last time that i had this same issue, that's what i did. But now, as I said a few lines above, I will switch my systems to nine, and when august ends, i will switch back to seven.

Thanks a lot.
