I went to CT today to get mine. What a headache that was. the lady tried 3 times and it came back as a duplicate, had to drive home spend 30 mins on hold with Outdoor Ontario, for them to do something on there end, drive back to CT and have it done again. And I'm sorry, what is with this new crappy lic thing. So we are going to get our new card in the mail, but we have to carry around that peice of yellow paper as well with it. Because theres no way that sticker is going on my outdoors card. What about when I go hunting in the fall, i'm going to have to cover up my fishing lic with my tags. I don't know this whole system just seems stupid to me. As i'm still waiting for my new card if someone knows more on this please clarify but it seems stupid.

not tooo mention they wasted the money on ALL of these new computer systems for all the locations to carry...like really were are they saving money???

I got mine online as well; you need to print it...
Didn't encounter any problems; and I also saved the file so I can make more copies if I ever need to.

Did you save a copy of the file or receipt. You could send it to a friend who has a printer and let them print it off.

So, is it just the on-line licensing that's changed or has the way you buy a license in-store changed as well?

No nothing changed. Just make sure you have a printer when you buy online. If you need to renew yur card, you choose buying card they will send you one. MNR does not send any documents to confirm or prof of purchase. Because of this mistake I had to pay $10.50 more just to print a duplicate.
