Qualifying for Upgrade

[Kurrykid]

I would like to have 2 versions of A:M so I am considering buying a used version and paying the $99 for the upgrade. Is this an acceptable approach? As long as I have a valid serial #, is there any issues?

 

I want to have a second machine that I can push my rendering over to while I am continuing to work on my main machine.

 

Thanks.

A very valid approach.

The only issue/word of caution would be to make sure the copy you purchase is valid.

You might run it by Hash Inc to make sure.

 

FWIW-This is just opinion... the official response can only come from Hash Inc.

By the way, since A:M doesn't yet support dual processors, any dual-core machine can be both renderer and work machine at the same time.

How does one accomplish this?

 

Thanks.

Run two instances of the application. Your OS should automatically assign one processor to each instance. The renderer will max out one processor, and you can continue to work using the other.
