Do you have to deactivate it on one computer to the reactivate it on another?

My version of Final Draft 8, which I bought two years ago, allows the purchaser to install the program on two computers simultaneously. To put it on a third computer, you must take it off one of the others. I don't remember the exact procedure, but I recall that it's outlined in Final Draft's website. If not, I did find the guy on their tech support line helpful.

You can download install and activate on up to two of your personal computers. The license is cross platform and the serial # or sign-in works for both Mac and Win.

Hi! I hope so because the computer I have now let me down and I will need it for the new one... But I am sure you can, if not, you could make a copy from your computer to "download" it to your new one. I do not know how but I know you can do it.

I use it on two computers. I haven't looked at their legal notice in years, but it used to authorize usage on two computers, which has always worked out well for me, since I usually use our desktop for planning and transfer the map to our laptop for travel and on the road updates.

Yes, I have installed on 2 computers. You need to write down the activation code the 1st time so you can use it again for the next computer or in case you need to reinstall on your computer. I'm not sure if you would be able to use on more than 2 computers, guess you can try and see what happens.

S. Martin is correct. Because of online activation, Adobe will "know" if you have it on three computers (I own and use three computers and wish this was not so, but it is what it is). However, you can leave the software installed on more than two computers, and deactivate it on one machine and activate it on another, just as long as it's only "active" on two computers at the same time.

You don't have to have the disk in your computer to use it. The program does randomly connect to the Internet to check that there are no updates and that it's an originally issued copy of the program. As far as using it on multiple computers you can do that if they're not being used at the same time. I have it installed on 2 computers but never use them at the same time.

I agree that it will work. if there is a BIG difference in hardware between the desktop and the laptop, Microsoft MAY tell you your version of Windows is unregistered. As long as you have your original disc or your key, re-registering will not be a problem.

It comes with a license that can be installed on 2 computers. If you want to move it to another computer, you need to inactivate it from one of the computers. I had a hard drive fail and to reinstall it on the new computer, called customer service and they were very helpful in resetting the license

I use the switch to let two computers share a single printer. I dont think hot key will activate it? It will need to be switched manually.

Yeah, there's a button to activate and deactivate. I honestly cannot tell the difference be it on, or off.

If I understand your question, the short answer is no. Example: you have 2 computers, A & B. The tax software is installed on computer A along with some data files. You will have to install the tax software program on computer B also. Once this is done you can drag & drop the *data* files from A to B. Dragging the program itself from A to B will never work. Also, keep in mind that this device does not "see" every file type and some may be missed if you are not careful. A great little time-saving device with a major flaw. Use at your own risk!

Yes. The hard drive holds all the data pertaining to the operating system; that information is not on the motherboard. A cloned drive will keep the product key and the rest of your settings. If you plan on using both drives on different computers I have to say two things:1) If your key only works for one computer, then running both is technically illegal (just have to say that)2) The System ID and other networking info will be copied and will cause interference, so you should change the PC name and run a random SysID changer.

No. It only has one license, but you can use it on up to two machines, just not at the same time. As long as you close it on one machine you can use it on the other. IOW, if you have it running at home and go to work (and vice versa) without closing it you'll be out of luck.

There is a CD included that starts the process. Then the registration that works on what ever number of computers your purchase the softward for. Does that help? The thing to remember is that the clock starts as soon as you download it to the first computer. The nice thing is that it is so much cheaper and all your systems are on the same schedule.

Yes. Though it takes a couple of seconds to detect, and may reset some of your icons and resolution preferences when you toggle. It behaves exactly like if you unplug the usb video and plug it into the other machine.

If that flash drive remains on the same computer it will work fine. If you are looking to run the software on multiple computers from the drive it may be possible on Macs, but not on Windows because the entries that must be made to the registry won't be on any computer other than the one where the software was first installed. Either way, moving this software from computer to computer may very well violate the EULA. I wouldn't suggest doing that.
