I have been using BD through both Boot Camp and Parallels for the past 3 years on my MacBook Pro with no serious issues.  I just upgraded to Windows 7 and Parallels 5.  I can't get BD to open up.  It seems to have installed, but I can't get it to go to the licensing page or anywhere, really.  PLEASE HELP!

Hi,

Let's start with what happens.

Did you install BD from the Downloads page on this site onto your new system? Any errors?

Assuming the installation went without error, what happens when you try to run BD? Any errors/messages?

Hi,

Activating your licenses is explained in the Online Users Guide here: http://www.birdersdiary.com/Documentation/BDV37/BDV37/Activating_Your_Birder_s_Diary_Licenses.htm 

Moving BD to a new computer is explained here: http://www.birdersdiary.com/Documentation/BDV37/How_To/Move_Birder_s_Diary_to_a_new_Computer.htm

In short, all you need to do is:

1. Activate your licenses via the instructions at the top of this page in the FAQ section for "activating your licenses on Vista or 7..."
2. Then move a copy of your database from your old system to your new one, replacing the "Database.mdb" demo database installed during the installation.

This is all covered in detail in the links above. But let me know if you get stuck on any step.
