Typically in the installation directory but... Hmm, so if the file cannot be created in the installation directory during activation, it is created in
C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\PrestoSoft\ExamDiff Pro
Maybe when EDP setup could not find the license file, it is located in that alternative folder. Still, it doesn't explain why it cannot file previous installations.

Please check the Registry keys mentioned above: if there is a bug, it would help us fix it. On the other hand, this should not prevent you from using version 16: after all, you can always uninstall previous versions using Apps and Features. Still, we would definitely like to get to the bottom of the issue.
I have an entry in HKLM but not in HKCU.

More precisely I only have an entry in HKLM under "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall".

Please try the latest build (16.0.0.3) - we made some installer fixes there.

"password.bin" in the old V15 install directory.

Move that to the V16 install directory did the trick for me.

Hmm, so during the installation, did you see a screen confirming that you still had a valid license? If so, password.bin file should have been copied to the new installation folder by the setup.
