Just did another new AC install on a computer that crashed a hard drive.

Reinstalled Win 10 to a new hard drive -- Windows apparently had the machine fingerprint in memory somewhere, because it automatically "activated" and I didn't have to buy a new license.

I remembered the problem with Crystal Reports installing from the 9.4 installer, so I first installed 6.3.3 which took care of Crystal Reports and some other stuff. Then installed 9.4 over the 6.3 -- the installer removed the 6.3, then just smoothly finished. No problem.
