Registration: Multiple Computers
« on: April 08, 2008, 08:25:30 am »

Hello,

I looked through the licensing FAQ and have a question to confirm:

If I purchase MC (very likely) I can run it on my two home computers and my work computer, right?

If I get a new computer at work, I need to re-install MC on my new work laptop, and get a new install key for all three computers? Is that right? And I have two weeks to do it?

Thanks!

Steve

Thanks for asking.  You can install on all the PC's that you use, both work and home.

If you got a new PC later, you'd need to use your Registration Code once for it.  That generates a license for the new PC and e-mails you a Registration Code that is good for 14 days.  You don't have to touch your other PC's.

Perfect Thanks very much.

Jim, while we're talking about licences, I have a special situation. I built a PC for a friend. Said friend went off to South America for a few months, renting out his apartment. He gave me the PC to keep and use in my home. He's now extended his trip until next year. May I (haven't done so yet), install MC on his PC while it's with me? He's a very honest guy, and I know that if he sees and likes MC when he returns, he'll purchase his own licence.

I have two computers
Use your Install Key to install a license on both computers. You may not install your license on anyone else's computer, and if you own many computers, you will need to purchase multiple licenses for them.

KingSparta, the reason I asked is because of the quote above. I am the guardian and user of my the PC I enquired about. Until my friend returns, I'd like to run MC on it. When he's back I could easily delete my licence info and put him on the 30 day trial.
