How do I move Magic Jack to a new computer?

Post by dhs13 »

I want the ability to move MJ to a new installation of Vista.

I have a phone number. I am planning to MJ to a new 64 Vista machine.

How do I do this?

thanks

Plug it into the USB port of the other computer.

It needs to load, but it is fully transportable.

No it will install everything on its own to the new PC. Just plug it in and wait.

Edit: I missed the Vista 64

Actually, I just saw the "64 bit Vista" destination.

"Normally" you just plug it in and it works. It does not like Vista, and probably likes 64-bit Vista less.

Good luck.

I just recently set up a friend's new computer. It's running Vista x64. Wow it's fast (8GBs of RAM too) but when I went to load my standard set of favorite software, most of them gave me an error stating they don't like x64. So I'm guessing MJ isn't going to like x64 either.

Has anyone installed MJ on a new computer with Vista (64)?
It does not work for me.

YES. magicJack is a portable device and may be used on multiple computers.

magicJack may be used on any Windows XP, Windows Vista, Wnodows 7, or Intel-based MACs. You will not have to register your magicJack again.

Simply plug your magicJack into the new computer and wait for the software to appear and you will be able to make and receive calls within moments.

Only one magicJack may be used on a computer at a time.

magicJack is ideal for traveling.

You may also want to download the magicJack APP and select the same number as your magicJack if you do not wish to move your magicJack.

C'mon now, give the guy a break. He is a new forum user, and besides, it won't be 3 years old until about another week. 8)
