Re: PBP3 licence
Hi,
For the second time: NO. (Please at least read the responses you get before continuing....)What? I gotta go through that every time I get up from the lounge laptop to go out to the workshop PC, and then again when I come back?
You go thru it ONCE for each computer (up to three) you install PBP3 on. Have one in the lounge, one it the workshop and one in the bathroom if you want.
If you install it on a fourth computer you can't activate it prior to de-activating it on one of the other three.
Yes exactly. MeLabs keeps track of how many times each license have been activated and on which machines - which is the reason for not being able to use the same actiavation code "all the time".BTW how does it know how many computers it is installed on? Does it have anything to do with the online / offline activation.
No, it's to prevent the same license to be installed on tens, hundreds or thousands of computers in an effort to help MeLabs stay in business. Yes, it's an extra step and sometimes it CAN be a bit of a hazzle (firewall issues) etc but having bought PBP3 for my own use at home and for my employer I've found the activation process to be pretty straight forward and being allowed to install it on three machines is really quite reasonable and a lot better than many other companies and software costing many many times that of PBP3.Is all this BS made just to confuse and piss off old farts? Well, it does!!
No problem, if you try to being a little patient too ;-)undoubtedly more questions to come...be patient
