I have just obtained serials from Ron, and thank you Ron, for that, but how do I go about giving them to my JRC4 game when it came already registered in the download?

With something like this I would recommend likely removing the stars.ini file which should prompt for you to re-enter the information.

If you are using the DOSBox Stand-alone that raptor is working on, I believe he has fixed this in his most recent "patch"

Furthermore, if you have a game you'll be running with some friends, hot-seat will not require different Serials I believe, though having each client having their own copy it should prompt them to either change or update their serial at which point you can give them the new code!

if this doesn't work, let me know. I'm going to go through my dusty Support documents and the help file to see if I am wrong/right in this...

Deleting the stars.ini file will work. Bear in mind, the file sits not where you expect - in the Stars! directory - but in Windows main directory (usually C:\Windows).

Yes. I'm sorry about that if you used StarsBox. It is fixed in the recent version.

No, it's okie dok. That suggestion makes much sense. Also, the "new" StarsBox is the only one I've downloaded, and have put in one of the new serials. Thank you.
