    Default Question A36


    Hi,

    I have a small question,

    can I install it on my second PC without any problems?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Fabbi,

    Provided it has an Internet connection, yes, you can.
    If not, you'll have to contact Flight1 support.


    Best regards, Elmar

    Default Sheer curiosity...

    Out of sheer curiosity - why do you need an internet connection? As far as I can see, after unlocking the download package, it allows you to install it to any pc that you want - or does it perform a check when you use the A36 the first time?

    You need an internet connection so that the system can verify and write the license file to your computer. The system uses machine binding, so you simply can't transfer the download file from machine to machine. If you wanted to install the program on a second machine that does not have an internet connection you can, but you have to contact Flight1 directly to receive a special license that will allow it to run.

    Just to shed some light, and not enter in "complex" considerations:

    when you purchase a software product with the eCommerce installer, you are granted a product key. This is your proof of purchase along with the receipt you receive by email from flight1.com.

    The software EULA (End User License Agreement) tells that you are purchasing a license to use the product (you don't "own" the product). This is standard in the software industry.

    When you validate your installation with your key on the internet, you are granted a license file on your computer to comply with the EULA. Now, whatever the product do with your license is irrelevant and product-specific.

    The global scheme is: you are licensed to use a software (.lic file). You are granted this right after your purchase (.key file). For specific details in regard to number of installations and to what number of computers, please refer to the EULA included in the product (displayed during installation).

    Hope this helps!
