What if I already have TouchCopy 16?

First of all, thank you for using TouchCopy 16!

You can continue to use your purchased TouchCopy 16 license, and the software will still work with the devices and software versions it was designed for.

However, please note that this legacy program no longer receives updates, so it may start to experience compatibility issues with newer technology.
