I can't upgrade to Melody Sauce 2 on a second computer

As you have already activated your Melody Sauce 2 upgrade you don't need to complete the full upgrade process on each subsequent computer you want to use.

After upgrading, your Melody Sauce 2 upgrade serial (license key) is used like a full serial. Simply copy and paste your Melody Sauce 2 serial (license key) in the first serial screen you come to - it should only have space for 1 serial (license key).

If you get an invalid serial error, please follow the steps in the FAQ: Full version of Melody Sauce 2: I get a serial not valid error.

Make sure to follow the first 3 steps below. If you still have an invalid serial error, then move on to the subsequent steps.

Note: Make sure there are no spaces at the start when you paste. Pay attention to the serial format xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. If any of the 5 sections of characters is only 3 characters long then you have accidentally added a space at the start.

3. Make sure you have a stable internet connection during the activation process.

For OS X: /Users/<username>/Library/Keyzy/

Once you have deleted the files, load the plugin and copy and paste your serial (license key) again.
