Seagate
Your license is only for one PC. The problem is when your new PC recognizes the Free Agent drive, it tries to automatically install software and then register it using your existing license. The existing license is for your 1st PC not the 2nd one. Therefore, your Seagate backup software won't register due to the licensing restrictions and therefore you can't access the files via the Seagate software.
When you connect it to the new PC, cancel the automatic installation. You should have access to all of your old files, just not the backup software. You should be able to use your drive like a USB connected drive. Go to the backup folder and your files will be in there...just copy like you would normally.
Best of luck.
