Questions relating to designing PCBs

Hello,
My computer recently broke, and so I have a new computer. I am trying to get Eagle Pro (which I purchased on 13 nov 2012) to work on my new computer. However, every time I try to open a schematic , or a layout file, or a library file, it says "invalid data......".

Do you know how I can rectify this situation?

I went HELP > EAGLE LICENCE, and Browsed to the folder where I have put the licence key (the licence key that Cadsoft gave me when I first purchased Eagle) , and I also put in the "Installation code" that Cadsoft sent me when I bought Eagle, but this doesn't seem to do any good.
Do you know how I can use Eagle Pro on this new computer?
My new computer is Windows 8, my previous computer was Windows 7.
When i go HELP > EAGLE LICENCE, and input the licence key file path, and the installation code, it comes up with a dialog box which has my name and address on it, and says its Eagle Pro...but i cant seem to use it.
It will let me make a new schematic however. And it will let me save this and re-open it.

More than likely, Eagle can only be installed on one computer. You will need to contact Eagle support for further info.
