How do I redownload my MPEG2 key?

Sun Dec 07, 2014 6:41 pm

My SD card failed and I've lost my MPEG2 licence key, does anyone know how I can download it again?

Don't you have it in an email?

If not then you'll need to send an email to [email protected] with your Raspberry Pi serial number to get it re-issued.

So you did not save the email, write it down and back it up (3 times)?

Try emailing [email protected]

That's not the correct email address. See bottom of http://www.raspberrypi.com/mpeg-2-license-key/

I was going from here: http://swag.raspberrypi.org/products/mpeg-2-license-key

The foundation and the Swag store need to get their web pages to be more consistent.

The folks from the foundation have agreed to tidy up their website and make it clearer which email addresses should be used for which purposes.

Send an email to [email protected] to get your key re-issued.
