Licence Question

[Simon Edmondson]

A friend has offered me his Macbook Pro when he upgrades in a few weeks time, it has Windows 7 on as a dual boot option. The first question is,

 

if I buy a Licence to run V18 on the Mac , do I have to get another one to run it under W7 on the same machine ? I am keen to try the 64bit option to speed up the rendering and, it might provide the option of using the setup machine as well .

 

In a related question.

My brother installed W7 on my Mini using an open source program called " Virtual Box", haven't had a chance to try it yet but, I have my earlier versions of AM on CD. Would it be legitimate to use those under virtual box , again to try the 64bit version which, it was my impression, became available with V15 ?

 

It is about 5 years since I last saw Windows and have never seen W8 in action ( Vista did it for me), I hope this doesn't open a can of worms but, am I likely to encounter much by way of transfer difficulties ?

I can answer a few...

 

 

You can transport your old CD version of A:M to any computer you wish (presuming it has a CD drive)

 

v15 is 32-bit only but will run on a 64-bit OS.

 

v16 was the first 64-bit version.

Thank you.

Blast !!! I couldn't upgrade to V16 at the time due to hospitalisation.

Ah well, revised masterplan awaits...

If you get a license - at any time - you will be able to run ver 16, 17, 18, etc - all you have to do is copy the license file (master0.lic) to each directory whereever that version (eg. program files/Hash Inc/V17.0, etc)was installed. You can get the old versions from the ftp site

 

ftp://ftp.hash.com/pub/updates/windows/

 

 

I run ver 16b32, 17g64, 18a64 on my new computer - win7 - all on ONE license purchased 2 weeks ago.

 

Do you need 1 or 2 licenses per computer per OS? - that I'm not sure about.
