Will I have to request an activation code for this computer separately? I don't want to mess my system with something which might not work. If I am right, I suppose that I will have to download the file from the download area again and send a password request, as I did for my main computer.
Just double checking.. to uninstall on OSX, I presume it's the standard drag and drop to the trash? Can I leave the old activation code in it's current location if I want to go back to 1.8.5 or do I need to remove it also? If I'm understanding correctly, the new code needs to go into a new location anyway (on all machines where PI is running).
Thanks for the continued development efforts.. there is nothing better than PI!!

Yes, just throw the /Applications/PixInsight folder to trash (you'll need an administrative authorization); that's all you need to uninstall the application on macOS. Isn't this simple and nice, compared to the nightmare required in another operating system?
Yes, you can leave the old pixinsight-license file where it is for now. The new version uses a completely different license file and there cannot be any conflicts; the new licensing system has been designed with this as a precondition.

Thank you so much! That's a fantastic slogan! 8)
Second.. I guess the only thing in this installation process that wasn't clear was that I didn't realize I had to do a "reactivation" for each system where I had PI running.. Under the old method, it was put the license file supplied into the correct folder. It appears the new install places it there but needs the reactivation codes on each machine to acknowledge and start PI..
There is nothing better than Pi.
