Re: xml-mind license: switch from Windows to Ubuntu

Hi Hussein,

thank you for your quick response. I will give it a try.

Is there a way to upgrade my current version to a newer one where xml 
mind works safely on Linux without a lot of fiddling around?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards
Danijel
