    I don't think this question has been asked but here it goes. I just got a new SSD and I am going to be doing a fresh installation of everything. This includes BeamNG. So I was wondering how I would Re-install it? Because I accidentally deleted the Email that had the activation code. Is there a re-vocation code like GTA 4? I have proof of purchase. I also still have the setup on my backup HDD.

    Your email provider might keep the things you deleted in a 'Trash' or 'Deleted Items' folder. It might still be in there. If it is, I recommend archiving such emails in the future.

    In the file location of BeamNG.drive, there is a notepad file called serial(.txt) That's what you would need for next time installation... i think, can someone back this up?

    I'm not in the first grade dude. Of coarse I looked there. And like I said it was an ACCIDENT. I get so many messages from this forum and I mistook that email as another "Someone has posted in a thread that you are subscribed to" email.

    I hope it is. Otherwise I will need to contact an admin about this.

    Yes, I think it's called "serial".

    Yup, there's a text file called "serial.txt" that contains your serial key. It's what the updater reads so it doesn't have to ask for your key every time it runs. It should be in the root directory with the .exe. And couldn't you just ghost your existing drive onto your SSD, or make your existing drive a secondary storage device and copy stuff you want to be faster onto the SSD?

    Ok thats great. And I would just clone the drive but it is too cluttered with crap. So I'm doing a fresh install. It will be much cleaner. I'm actually making sure I have all my program install files on my backup HDD. I'm about to install the SSD now.
