Dear all

A support of a theme builder told me that I have to reinstallation of RW7.

My Question:  
Do I have to deactivate the license first or not?  
How can I get my license again for the new installation?

I am using macOS Sierra (Version 10.12.3)

Thank you for helping 😉

Cheers

Roland

Hi Roland,

You can reinstall RapidWeaver by going to the Applications folder in your computer. Right-click / drag RapidWeaver to the trash, and “empty the trash.”

You can [download the latest version of RapidWeaver from this link](https://dl.devmate.com/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver/RapidWeaver.zip) - once downloaded, drag this copy into the Applications folder.

Not entirely sure why a theme issue would require re-installing RapidWeaver…
