If my computer crashes, will i lose omnisphere and have to buy it again? is there a safety net?

No...I assume you have the 6 DVDs. U may have to reload and do another authorization. But so long as you are the registered owner then you will have no problem.

Hello! No.. The ominsphere comes with cds. So if your computer crashes(try not get a computer that crashes in the first place:) you can always put if back on with cds or go to omnisphere web site and re-download it.

No - it is installed via DVDs, therefore if your computer crashes then you would just re-install it on your new computer.

The Eee is a PC (as is a newer Mac for that matter). Same rules apply. I think that the Eee does not have a swap partition (for good reasons as flash drives have a finite, though very large, number of times they can be written to) so that means if you run out of RAM, Bad Things may happen.If you were willing to, you *could* buy a SD card, format it or a partition on it to work as swap thus giving more usable RAM space, but when the swap is in use, it will probably become damn slow. Just remember that using an SD card for swap would probably greatly decrease the lifespan of the SD card due to the above mentioned limitation of flash memory.

I tried it and it worked but had a bad crash with a big project and lost all the data, so would I recommend it ? probably not

Greg, I couldn't find the answer on my software, but I can tell you that I have installed it on one desktop and one laptop with no problem whatsoever. I bought a second copy for a laptop I purchased later.

You can back up to amazon S3 or glacier, witch will be cheeper than crashplan.

I've only had mine for 5 years, and I only use it occasionally. That said, it still works just fine. Would you consider contacting Omron directly?

I have re-installed the program after a computer crash. I suggest that you email Virtual Mechanics and ask them if you can install it on both a laptop and a desktop. The folks at VM are very nice and reasonable. Keep in mind that you will have to link your laptop and your desktop or you will have different programs and changes to one will not change the other.

I don't know much about Crashplan or Carbonite, but you captured what it does in your second clause: It backs up locally and allows cloud access (uploads and downloads). If the entire unit goes up in flames, there's no cloud backup.

No, you will not be good to go. There are only two rotors and no mother board included in the crash pack. Spend $20 more dollars and get another one.

I doubt it. It is registered on one computer. If you were able to use it on another computer, why not 3 other computers. I do know that if you lose Office on your computer you can load it over and over on the same computer. I have done it 3 times due to virus protection wiping out the software.

I don't think so. You have to go online to register the software within 30 days. If you don't, it loses some or all of its functionality (I'm ashamed to say I haven't done so yet, even though it's been longer than that since I installed it). Anyway, I suspect that once you register it on one computer, you probably won't be able to do so again for another one. Hope this helps.

I haven't used it for awhile, so my memory is a little hazy. I plugged it in to a port on the front of my computer. I was scanning slides. I chose "USB Connect" from the start menu. The Omni saved the images (I think it has the capacity to save some images without a card) and it was transferred directly to my computer with a message that said "open folder to view files." I clicked on that to open the file and there was another file in it that said "DCIM" which I opened and there was my image. I copied it to a file in "my Pictures." Using a Memory Card in the Omni Scan is good because it allows more images to be saved and then transferred to the computer. I then printed out the images I wanted. Hope this helps.

Microsoft has a one license per machine. You may have to call Microsoft to reinstall after a disk crash. You would be better advised to make an Image backup using Acronis or Macrium Reflect.

Yes. But I wouldn't buy this ever. I sent it back after the first day. It always crashes and is so unbelievably slooowwwww

If I get access to it for use on my current computer, will I be able to use it again when I replace the computer?

So is this the OEM version? Will I be able to install it on a new computer the day my actual computer dies or does the license die with the computer?
