Question regarding licensing

Jay Z wrote on 5/11/2007, 7:42 AM

I've read through the license agreement, and it doesn't specifically answer my question, and that is; can I legally load my Vegas software on my laptop while at the same time it is loaded on my desktop? The two machines are never being used at the same time, but I like to be able to edit on my laptop when I'm on the road, and I want to be legal. Can I do this with my existing license, or do I need to purchase another license? My previous platform (Adobe Premiere Pro) allows this, so I'm hopeful I can do this with Vegas as well.

Thanks in advance for your replies...

Question
Can I run my Sony Media Software application on more than one PC?

Answer

Our licensing agreement permits you to install the software on as many machines as you own, as long as you are not running the programs at the same time. For instance, you can install the software on your home machine and on your laptop. You are not allowed to install the software on multiple machines if you are going to be using them simultaneously, such as in a home studio setting. If you are going to run the software concurrently on more than one machine, you would need to purchase a separate license for each computer.

Note that when you install the software on a different computer you will need to complete the registration process again. Register the software as you did the first time to unlock the program on each machine. You can register online directly within the software, via the phone, or on our website through our online form."
