When I got a laptop some time ago I installed climateprediction on it and tried to use the same account I was using for my PC but was unable to log in. I set it up using a different email account. I now have the 2 accounts mentioned and 1 with an email account with an ISP that no longer exists. Is there any way I can merge them all onto 1 email account. I have logged into all 3 but haven\'t been able to change the accounts, I get the message the account is already being used.

Thanks
Mike

No, they can\'t be combined, because they effectively belong to different people.
The email address is used as the identifier to tell one person from another.

The best that you can do is to stick with the account that has the most credit.

If that\'s the one with the no longer existing email addy, then log into the account with the email addy that you want to use and change the email addy there to something random, with the correct format. e.g. me@there.com
Then you\'ll be able to login to the account that you want to use, and change the email addy to the one that you\'ve just scrambled.

When adding a new computer to an already existing account, use the \"Existing account\", option NOT the \"New Account\" option.
