  • Run VI (Special Edition) on 2 PCs? Licence ok?

    Hi there,

    I'm wondering if I buy the Special Edition (or any VI in that matter), can you use it simultaneously on multiple computers?

    Is there any limit?

    If not, is it possible to buy an extra-licence ? At what price?

    Thanks!

  • vinc, you can split several collections across multiple computers but you cannot *duplicate* the license for one collection to a second machine.
    for the larger collections (chamber, appassionata) there are options which we offer on a case-by-case basis.

  • Hi Christian,

    Just to be sure I understand.

    I'm certainly going to buy the Special Edition to start with.

    I'd like to use the library on 2 PCs at the same time. I wouldn't want to split the library just to have more flexibility with the selection of samples I'll need in a particular project.

    I've been using EWQSL for some time now that include authorization to use the library on 2 PCs.

    I just want to make sure I'll be able to do the same.

    I'll try to contact you with AIM but I leave in Vancouver, BC so chances are you might be gone when I get up [:)]

    My AIM : vinco75

    Thanks for your help!

  • vinco, for Vienna Instruments libraries the authorization (license) sits and depends on the ViennaKey, so there is no option to authorize (or unauthorize) another machine, just to add another license to a second key.

    sorry if AIM did not work - i'll remove it then

  • okay that's what I thought Christian.

    Do you offer discounts in order to get another licence for a 2nd computer for the same library?

    vinco, whereas you can contact our sales department for such atype of license (price reduced site license) for the Symphonic Cube, VSL currently does not offer this for the Special Edition.

    @Another User said:

    Can I use an NI product on both, my desktop and my mobile computer, or must I obtain a second license for this?
    According to the license agreement your product can only be used on one computer at a time. If you want to use your product on your mobile computer as well, but not simultaneously, a second installation for mobile use is included under your main license.[code:1:7c90b13b56][/code:1:7c90b13b56]
