Hello experts,

i've bought exam packs and the question pack from GMAC.

I need to format my laptop due to some bugs.

Would have to buy the material again or can i use the same activation code to install them again on the same PC?

Thanks.

Regards,

Joe

When you purchase the material, you get the following note at the bottom of the page:

Please note: You are only allotted three (3) activations for the GMATPrep extension packs. Once the 18-digit code has been activated three (3) times, you must deactivate it from one of the other devices to install the exam pack/question pack on a new machine. You can deactivate only content that is currently installed and active. We do not have the ability to deactivate software from your computer. If you are unable to deactivate the additional content, you must re-purchase it.

So it looks like you should be fine.
