Installation on more than one computer.

Hi,
I am looking at purchasing Final Cut Express HD and was wondering whether i will be able to install it on both my imac and my ibook or whether you can only install it once?
Many thanks

Most unlikely. Any new Apple software will be universal binary, which means it'll run on both Intel and Power PC chips. How long this will last I don't know. I suspect down the road we'll start seeing software that will only run on Intel machines, and eventually an OS that will only run on Intel and not be UB.
Personally I would not buy a PowerPC machine at this stage. It's obsolescence is built into it, which doesn't seem to me to be a good way to start.

  • Laserjet pro p1102w installation on more than one computer on home network

    I have just set up a Laserjet Pro1102w at home to work wirelessly which it does without issue. I now want to be able to print to it from my wife's laptop and a desktop PC. The laptops are both Windows 7 the PC Vista. When I was installing the printer at one point a mesage told me that if I want to install it on another computer that the second one would only work if my first one was turned on up and running which would not always be possible. Looking around the manual I saw something about pasting IP addresses into the web browser to set it up, I thought the install disk would be more logical easier. Also would the other computers not see the printer on the wireless home network and just pick it up?
    Question: what is the easiest way of connecting the other computers preferably without needing the first laptop to remain on.

    Well, that doesn't really answer the question. But probably not the right forum to answer it (and certainly not the right one to ask it).

  • Can I install photoshop cs5 on more than one computer, if "owned" by a different user?

    I want to install my recently purchased photoshop cs5 on my macbook, as well as my imac. The only thing I worry about is that the macbook is in my name and the imac is technically in my dad's name, even though he only uses it to surf the web. The only reason he even bought the imac as opposed to anything else is so that I'd have a great place to edit photos. I really need it to be on both, will this work? Anyone have experience with this?

    This is what I was able to dig out
    May I use the software on more than one computer at a time?
    The activation process supports installation on two machines. The Adobe product license agreement allows the primary user to install the product on a primary computer and also on a home or laptop computer for his or her use, provided that the two copies are not used simultaneously. While the activation process supports installing and activating Adobe software on two machines, the usage of the product on the second computer is restricted to the user who licensed the software. Allowing others to use a second copy of the software violates the product license agreement.

  • Can I use my lightroom 5 CD on more than one computer? Toshiba to my new Mac Book Pro?

    I have Lightroom 5 CD that I've used for 2 years in my Toshiba laptop. I have a new Mac Book Pro and was wondering if I purchase an external CD for it, can I use my software on my new computer. I wasn't sure if it can be used on more than one computer...It doesn't say on the software box.
    Thank you so much!

    There are normally three options: License, buy or try. See image below.
    Did you double click on the package in downloads to start the installation?

  • Can you install logic express on more than one computer

    can you install logic express on more than one computer ?

    Be sure to read the End User Licensing Agreement for questions of this nature. You are allowed to install Logic on two computers that you own, for example an iMac and a MacBook Pro. You cannot, however, use the two computers at the same time if they are on the same network. You can use one computer as a Logic Node to shift some of the processing load (which you would likely do with an ethernet cable) but you don't need to have a full installation of Logic on the Node  machine, just the Logic Node installation. The idea of allowing two installations is so that you might take advantage of a portable  computer in the field for on-site recording then later transfer those files to a desktop studio set up for further editing.

  • Can I use lightroom on more than one computer

    Am I able to use lightroom on more than one computer. As in if I download it to my PC can I then use the same license for my laptop?

  • Can I have my Adobe X Pro on more than one computer?

    Can I have my Adobe X Pro on more than one computer?

    Well, yes, but I think there's an important point to make; I'm surprised you talk about "downloading it again". That suggests you didn't make an archive copy of the installer you downloaded for the first computer.
    It is VITAL to archive a copy of what you download for software you buy. That doesn't mean just leave the download on disk, because you will need it if that disk fails or computer is dropped on the floor. We constantly see people that didn't get a copy of their old software, and now it is no longer available for download, leaving them just stuck!
    So, please, save a copy on CD or DVD. Also, write the serial number on the disk, and any qualifying number if it was an upgrade. I'd hate you to be another statistic in the "how do I reinstall my old software" threads.

  • Installing Lion on more than one computer

    Does anyone know how to install the Lion OS on more than one computer?  I downloaded and installed Lion on my iMac today, but want to do the same for my other two computers as well.  Is there a way to find the DMG file and save it onto a flash drive instead of downloading it all over again?  I searched using Spotlight and could not find the downloaded file anywhere.
    Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

    If the iMac was already updated, then the installer is no longer on the computer.
    The easiest way to do this on your other Macs is to sign in to the Mac App Store using the same Apple ID as on the iMac, find Lion and click "INSTALL." You will not be charged again.

  • Can you load photoshop elements, disc version, on more than one computer?

    Can you load photoshop elements, disc version, on more than one computer?

      It‘s been part of recent versions, perhaps from PSE8 onward; I‘m not exactly sure. The software activates automatically upon installation. If you ever change computers and already have two activations simply open the Editor on the old machine and on the top menu click help à deactivate

  • Can I load my Itune on more than one computer?

    Can I have ITunes installed on more than one computer, and sync with I-Phone and IPAD2?  How do I keep the files the same on both computers?

    you can authorize up to five computers you control for your iTunes store account.
    you can use home sharing to keep the libraries on them in sync.
    by design, iPhone and iPad can sync with only one library at a time.
    however, you could consider Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod.

  • Can't use the iPod on more than one computer!!!!!!!

    Ok, This has got me so frustrated! We got an iPod and installed iTunes. We thought we had it figured out - we purchased music from iTunes, played it on the iPod and everything was great. Then plugged the iPod into my other computer to listen to our music and it won't freakin' play! says the computer is "Not Authorized" and suggests that by 'authorizing' the 2nd computer, it will overwrite the songs that are already on the iPod. This is NOT desirable. We've downloaded and installed iTunes onto the 2nd computer and used the same login account that we used on the first computer.
    What gives!?!?! I thought this was supposed to be easy, but it's not! I was hoping for a quick and simple "plug it in and start listening to music." This is definately not quick and simple. Albeit, I'm new to this iPod craze, but this shouldn't be so difficult. I've poked around on the website and cannot seem to find an answer to this.
    HELP!!!!
    Thanks
    oh btw, Is anyone else getting annoyed by Apple's rediculous attempt at monopolizing this market by forcing us to use thier own proprietary software?!?!

    First of all, any computer that plays purchased content must be authorized. This can be accomplished by opening iTunes, then store>authorize computer. If you wish to use your iPod on more than one computer & not have your iPod content erased, you will have to have your iPod preferences set on "manually manage". See the following link.

    Also, it's not only Apple that uses proprietary software. How about Zune players, & several others?

    How can I use my iPod nano on more than one computer?

    Hi, China6450.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would recommend setting up Manually manage music.  This will only allow music to be synced from the computer to the iPod nano.  Here are some helpful articles that will walk you through the process.
