     Special Edition is designed to be used on one machine, therefore only come with one licence. If you want to use it on two machines at the same time, then you will need two licences.

    However, be sure that you actually need slave machines. I run the whole cube, and other Collections, from one machine, so unless your DAW PC is severely underpowered, you may not need any slave machines.

    Hi attla78,

    Another option is to get the Special Edition DOWNLOAD Collections. This way you get separate licenses for the different sections and can spread them over different machiness.

    Hi attla78, 

    Sound s like a cool setup, no trouble at all. The whole Special Edition loads into around 4 GB of RAM (and you never need ALL samples, really).

    Okay, so I thought I scrolled down and obviously didn't. If you read my reply via email, forget it. Sorry.

    Although, what I said about upgradability and computers getting better- I still stand to. With the new CPU's out lately, I could easily build a desktop machine that could handle a good chunk of VSL. I think there are some desktop boards that even hold 48GB now. ALTHOUGH, keep in mind that Vienna Instruments Pro 2.0 will have SSD options to use 10x less ram for the same samples. So that could save you having to load over multiple computers too. Just a thought.
