I went ahead and bought my license on the new software.................it was slow, but did work; it did auto populate the second 5 days to the end of the 2022 season (01/27/23-01/31/2023). It did require me to buy another habitat stamp, even though the current one expires 01/31/2022.........not a big deal, since I'll need it for next season, which it covers. I took a pic of the license, and also saved a PDF copy. Then i checked license history, and everything was there.
on a different note, if you have the app on your phone, and have not refreshed it, do so. I did this before logging on and buying the license from my laptop. I wanted to see the license on the app, since we often carry our phones while hunting.................so I tried to log on to the app and received "system is currently under maintenance please try again later". As someone posted earlier, it would have made great sense to do the conversion after season end..................glad to be retired and not deal with software conversions anymore!! They suck, and keep in mind if you call SDFG, the person you are speaking with are taking the beatings, but not responsible for the C-F................be frustrated, but try to be kind
