How do I remove the license before rebuilding?

Should be easy. In XP, go into your Control Panel, navigate to "Other Control Panel Options." You should see an E-license control folder. Keep navigating into the folder until you get to the e-license utility for OOTPB 2006, and run that. As long as you're connected to the 'Net, it should be automatic.

It's a good idea to write your license number down before you unlicense, so that you will have no trouble re-licensing later.

We have a new rule that states that Tech Support threads wherein we have not received a response within 7 days will be closed.

This one meets this criteria, so I'm closing this.

If you want to discuss it again, just PM me with the thread link, and I'll re-open. (Don't just say "Hey, reopen my thread." I need to know the URL, thanks!)
