May (free) Quicktime 7 only be installed on more than 1 home computer?

My family has several home computers, and would like to:
Have (free) QuickTime 7 installed on more than one of those computers at a time.
(Potentially) use (free) Quicktime 7 on more than one of those computers at the same time.
However, the QuickTime 7 EULA (End User Licensing Agreement) clearly says:
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a
single computer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time, and
you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time.
Are the
"install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single computer at a time"
and
"may not make ... [allow it to] be used by multiple computers at the same time"
restrictions meant to apply to free software such as QuickTime 7?

In my opinion no, the quoted statements only refer to software purchases made independently by the end user such as a QT Pro license since by reductio ad absurdum one might conclude:
QT is a software download to be used as both a free multimedia player and a system "structure" which is required by other applicatiuons such as iTunes and QT "Pro," as well as, all current Mac operating systems along with Mac specific apps like iMovie or GarageBand. To apply the general EULA interpretation to all sytems and platforms would literally mean users can only have a single operating platform in any given household and also implies that Apple is breaking their own licensing agreement every time they sell more than one computer to a family since they would be including illegally installed softfare to an end user. (Brings up another interesting question: If operating multiple systems with iTunes illegally installed by Apple, does that make Apple guilty of illegally selling products through the iTunes, App, Book, and other stores accessed by iTunes?)
However, if you really want to carry this question on to a logiocal conclusion, then you can always apply for a QT developer or site license which will allow you to either distribute or install QT to/for others and, since the software is free, the cost of these licenses are also free.

    Hi All, I have two questions. First of all my CS3 is saying that it is installed on more than one machine, is there a way of seeing what machines my serial number is registered to? If i want to buy another CS3 serial number how do i go about it? I cannot afford to move to the creative cloud.....

    there's no way for you to identify which machines have or had cs3 activated, and you can no longer purchase a cs3 license from adobe.
    you can request an activation count reset (Contact Customer Care) and deactivate your cs3 on all your computers.  you can then install and activate on up to two computers.

    A retail purchase of the software can be installed on 2 computers at a given instance as per the End User License Agreement.

  • Legal to install on more than 1 computer?

    I just downloaded Quicktime Pro. I have 3 computers in my house. Is it legal for me to install this on more than one of the computers?
    If so, do I need to request another key or S/N?
    thanks

    Not quite.
    To use software requires "permission". Your network must be able to share applications (just like they share drives).
    I regularly use software from one drive to another. I keep most of my older apps on an external drive and access them with a click on their icons.
    No need to buy again (another software license) for any app used on my "network".
    You install software a bit differently. And it may act a bit differently on a PC.
    Once my machines are all "talking to one another" I can open apps installed on my external HD (as if they were local) or on my network.

  • HT2376 How do you recover a Quicktime registration key that was purchased more than 18 months ago?

    I would like to reinstall Quicktime Pro on my new computer but I can't seem to find my old registration code.  I don't want to have to buy it again but the "view order history" found on the "your account" page in apple only goes back 18 months.  Is there anything I can do?

    If you no longer have the email with the key, then you will have to purchase a new key. Apple stopped keeping records of orders more than 18 months old some time back.
    Regards.

  • Can Final Cut Pro 7 be installed on more than one computer?

    I am looking to purchase a Final Cut product, maybe Final Cut Pro 7, and wondering how many computers I can install the software on.  I'm doing some basic video editing stuff for a sketch comedy team and we use more than one computer at times for editing.
    Thanks

    You can install on (1) Tower and (1) Laptop, as long as they are both used by you, and NOT at the same time.  This is for when you edit on your tower, but then need to edit at home, or on the road.  You cannot use one copy of FCP on multiple machines at the same time.  You need one copy for each machine you intend to use at the same time.

  • Does my Adobe cc subscription let me install on more than one computer?

  • Firefox is the only browser that need more than 700 ms accesstime, when others need only 10! Why is that???

    I have tested Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Firefox is using between 500-1100 ms accesstime, using Bredbandskollen.se, while the other two only uses around 10 ms!

    First of all, thank you for your response.
    Below you can find the answers to your questions:
    1) YES, I am using version 4, build 0024.00. Forgot to mention that I use Windows 7 64-bit and Firefox 11 (I don't use Chrome or IE)
    2) I cannot confirm that, because the problem doesn't appear every time. For example, today EVERYTHING works OK! I haven't change anything or done something different, but since I boot my T410s, every site log in with ONLY one swipe (today even Yahoo for the first time). As I said, SOMETIMES PWM asks for one swipe, other for 2 and rarely for 3 swipes. But I think that when the problem appears, PWM need more than one fingerprint swipe every time I go to the website.
    3) The setting for "before logging me into a Web site or application..." is "Every time". As I said, I need this setting to be "Every time", as my notebook sometimes is being used by other persons.
    It is really a stange problem and when it appears it is very annoying. Have you any other ideas about what it's going on?

  • Can a standard Adobe ID Suite be installed on more than one computer? If not; how can an educator buy a second seat on another computer with the same educators account?

    Adobe requires an ID account to install software on a single computer. However I have a portable Mac as well as a desktop system. Can I install another copy with the monthly paid installation on the second computer or do I need to buy another seat with the same account?

    Hey tferm78!
    I have a couple of options for you to consider. First, you may simply want to authorize all of your computers for your iTunes account and turn on Automatic Downloads, so that when you download something on one computer, it will automatically download to other computers:

    You could also look into iTunes Match, a service that would seamlessly link all of your iTunes libraries:
