Using software on two computers

Post by LindafromMurton » 15 May 2009 16:55

I have a desktop computer and a laptop. I downloaded version 3 in February onto my laptop which I subsequently purchased. I have today downloaded and installed the upgrade to V4.

Am I allowed to use this software on my second computer and if so how do I get it installed.

Thank you.

Yes simply install V3 on your other computer and then install V4 over the top.

The ULA for FH allows the installation on two computers as long as they are both for your own use.

Hello Jane, thank you for responding. My problem is I downloaded upgrade to V4 today and dont have a copy of V3. I have my e-mail with registration key etc. but cant find where to download V3.

Can you please offer any help. The two computers I mentioned are both mine. The desktop is behind me as I type and my laptop is in front.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Linda

Wish I had bought V3 on a disc instead of download. Would have made life a lot more easy.

I'm sure someone can get a copy of v3 download to you. Calico Pie might be able to help, have you emailed them?

I always prefer to buy software as a download (no messing about with CD/DVDs required and no waiting for deliveries) but you do have to remember to keep the download saved somewhere and backed up!

As Nick says if you download software you always need to ensure you keep a copy of the download. I'll contact Calico and see if there is a link for you.
