Installation & Licensing
We allow installation and activation on up to two computers used exclusively by the same person. For example: If you have a machine only you work on in your office, and your own machine at home, you can install and activate on both machines.
This applies to both Windows and/or Mac OS computers, be they desktop, laptop, tablet, etc.
If you wish to use the products on more than 2 machines, or for further colleagues to also use the products, additional licenses will need to be purchased through our Team Licensing systems, as the volume of licenses required will reflect the number of users.
