Installing VS2021 Ultimate to my second PC

Post by cybernick »

For a while I will need to go mobile. So I will need to install VS to my notebook.
Can I install my existing lic to my notebook without uninstalling the desktop pc?
Can I have it installed in both my desktop and notebook?

PS: My notebook is a MAC but I thinking to install Parallels for a VM Windows.

According to the End User Licence Agreement you can only install it on one machine. But Corel don't seem to have any way of checking this. I have no idea, however, if you could install it that way on a Mac... or whether it would fully work.

You can install onto two machines. I have my licence on my home desktop and my Surface Pro etc.

The standard licence when purchasing Video Studio only allows us to install on one machine
This is different for other Corel products which allow installation on two machines, in fact I believe it was 3 machines at one time.
Yes we can purchase a licence to cover more than one machine.

However we are allowed to install on another machine should the first be broken or being replaced.
Other than having permission from Corel its one machine, EULA also refers.

How Corel police that is another matter as it is possible to install on other machines although we then have to prove our ownership by providing registration details prior to installation.
