Team,

what is the best way to upgrade the public build and maintain my account? last time i did this by uninstalling the sdk and install the new one. I got problem that I am already registered in two computers… it was not detecting that I am in the same computer.

your advice is highly appreciated,

Regards

You should be able to replace your Corona SDK install at any time.  Usually there was some network problem that didn’t get you logged in correctly that causes this problem.  But if you want to be 100% safe, you can go into Corona’s Preferences and do a “Deauthorize and Quit” which will deauthorize that computer, install the upgrade, and when you startup, log back in again and all should be good.

Thanks Rob,  I upgraded my build and login without any issues but i de-authorise my machine first.

I noticed the my old display background changed for the old applications. Is this related to the new graphics code. Is there any tutorial that help to see what is new stuff and how can i modify my code to suit the new build. Thanks again for your great support.

If you go to http://coronalabs.com/blogs  you will see a dozen tutorials on Graphics 2.0.  There were significant changes and there is a small change you need to your config.lua to continue to use the old way of doing things.  It’s in the most recent Graphics 2.0 tutorial back about a week ago.
