Anquet - installed on 2 computers?

Just moved my Anquet from one computer to another after I've installed linux
(yet again...on my laptop), but I noticed it mentioned that it can be put
Anquet on 2 computers at once (but use only one at a time). I remember
something was mentioned on uk.rec.walking a while back about this, but I'm
not sure if it means computer and PC pocket?

I think you're quite safe. After all, if you play a CD on your stereo
at home you are perfectly entitled to play it in your car and on your
discman.

The problem is that the strict OS licensing prevents having two "active"
copies installed. Although it's possible to re-genreate a new keycode,
and to therefore have two installs, the whole procedure has to be
repeated everytime there's an upgrade.

I believe that Anquet were very close to an agreement with the OS that
one laptop and one desktop was acceptable. How do you police this?? Dunno.

Pocket PC install is also covered under the licence (where the OS
license restricts the amount of data on each PocketPC) but is separate
from this issue.

I suggest you contact the Anquet support team who are usually very helpful.

I suspect that upon a judicial review anyone convicted of software
fraud for having one license of the same software on their home PC and
personal laptop would have their conviction quashed.

Quite possibly - unless of course both machines were in use at the same
time.

Hi
You only have 30 days use on the other computer. The Software generates a
different code for each PC and they wont give you another qcode at anquet.
But I aggree contact them as they are very helpful

There's no problem with having Anquet on computer and pocket PC now.
It was me who posted re: changes a while ago: see

The changes have now been introduced: if you go to webpage you can
find out how to get the second license legitimately.

HTH!

Best wishes,

Anquet website as I'm working a few more hours then I should or like!
