Yes I found that out finally - I assumed amd64 required an AMD processor.
Don't feel bad about it, it happened to me countless of times as well! I don't know why they had to name it amd64... very confusing indeed.
]]>I did the activation and it correctly updated my registration without using a new slot.
I expect a re-format and new OS install would also work - it must get hardware stats somehow - don't care as long as it works :-).

ThanksI get to the next hurdle - it wants to register, but the machine is already registered via an old OS in a different partition in the same PC.
Will this use a new "slot"?
If so can i unregister the old/current slot allocation, without killing pianoteq in that machine for ever after?
Glad to hear it works with 64-bit!
Has the second OS on the machine gotten the same hostname? Then it should use the same "slot" for registration as before. But that is just my guess/opinion, because anything else makes no sense to me.
PS: I would NOT unregister the machine until you know what would happen!

Here is what I have done:-
sudo ldconfig
cd Pianoteq\ 5\ STAGE/i386
./Pianoteq\ 5\ STAGE
./Pianoteq 5 STAGE: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The X11 stuff is here:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6.3.
... you are trying to start the 32-bit binary. You should probably use the 64-bit version (for intel and amd cpu) -->
cd Pianoteq\ 5\ STAGE/amd64
./Pianoteq\ 5\ STAGE

I will look for a Ubuntu installer.
Thanks
]]>my answer might not be an exact solution... but I recommend trying to install Pianoteq from the repository instead of downloading it. I am running Arch Linux, and could not get Pianoteq to run when I tried the downloaded version from Pianoteq. Then I realized there is repository for Arch Linux to install it, and that worked out of the box.
I haven't checked whether that is the same on Ubuntu, but I would be surprised if they didn't have some ready to install package for you... and if they do, I would try that first.

Do I need to do a symbolic link somewhere or extend the environment variable shared lib path?
Will the licence accept running in the new partition?
If I do a clean linux mint install, can I download and run pianoteq on the existing registration , or do I need to unregister the machine?
I will probably go to version 6 anyway, and add some more instruments - the demo recordings sound good.
I have recently got a Yamaha n1x - excellent action, decent sound system, limited instruments, lousy control interface, but should work nicely with pianoteq?
