delete Pan folder and reinstall, do I have to de-activate first?

[Gary Yonaites]

You should not affect your registration at all doing this. All the  
registration information resides elsewhere on your computer. Since I  
have a bunch of my own custom stuff residing in my working Panorama  
folder, I always first rename my existing Panorama folder and then  
install the new version to the Applications folder and then transfer  
over my own items as needed. The drawback with this method is you do  
not automatically retain your custom statements and functions as a  
straight install will do. I prefer to do it manually since it gives  
me the opportunity to sift through my personal things to see what is  
worth transferring.
