Ive got a media server, a gaming pc and a laptop. Can I have media centre running on all three with one license? Can I have the media server serving both the gaming pc AND the laptop at once?

[JimH]

Yes.

[alexisbatman]

Excellent news. So, whats the upper limit on how many machines with one license? Four, Five?

[JimH]

We've always said it's "your" machines.  It's up to you to be reasonable about that.  We revoke a license that's abused.

That said, I think 5 or 6 is pushing the upper limit.

Yeah, I'd have it running on three max machines. I can see where you're coming from about the licenses. You don't want people taking the ****. MC is a great product by the way. I recommend it to everyone!

Thx

Alex : )

That might be a good subject for a poll (as well as good marketing data) -
On how many machines do you concurrently run the software?
I run a server and three machines.

I really love the product too - I run it on 4 machines. (but then again I have 6 machines at home...)

Personally, I find MC on a few machines and MJ on the rest a great way to go. I run MC on the server, the HTPC and my main desktop and then connect a couple of others via MJ for audio lsitening only - which all works a treat! I was so glad when MJ12 came out and could connect to an MC12 server.
