Using one copy of Aperture on two computers or more

I have a registered copy of Aperture 1.5.6 and have downloaded the trial version of Aperture 2.
I'm thinking of getting a MacBool Pro. My question:
Will I be able to use my 1.5.6 disc on the MacBook Pro or will the disc only work on one computer. If I want to use Aperture 2 should I buy an actual disc to update on my current computer in the hope that I could also update to Aperture 2 on the MacBook Pro.
OR is there a way to transfer all my applications (including Apertuer 2) from my G5 to the MacBook Pro.
Hope you can make sense of this question! :o)

I don't think it makes any difference. That sentence about a desktop and a laptop is just a legal description. Technically you can use the same serial number of Aperture on as many computers as you like. I don't think Apple bothers much what you write in the registration form, as long as it receives no more than two registrations per serial number.

Using one keyboard and mouse with two computers

I have just bought a 27" iMac and have connected my MacBook to it via the DisplayPort. When using the iMac as an external display for the MacBook I want to be able to use my iMac keyboard and mouse to control. What is the best way of doing this, as I understand Bluetooth will only pair one device at a time? I want to be able to switch my keyboard and mouse between the 2 machines as smoothly as possible... Any suggestions or is this going to be too compicated?

I'm curious; if you pair your keyboard/mouse with one computer, does it lose the pairing to the previous computer?
To answer your question: yes; the both computer would need to be able to talk to each other via a network connection. If you can connect your Macbook Pro to the Internet wirelessly via the built-in Airport, then you can use the wired ethernet port, via a cross-connect ethernet cable (normal ones are straight-thru), to connect to your Power Mac (or connect them via a hub).
However, if you're not comfortable with networking, you may not want to take this approach.

Can I use same QT Pro key on two computers?

I want to have QT Pro on my desktop and laptop but I don't wanna have any issues with the same serial number being used etc.
Am I allowed to use it on both?

Use one fpga vi to control two targets

Hi,
I have two fpga because I need more than 8 analogue output and analogue input. I wonder if I can use one fpga vi to control two targets (the two FPGA boards I use are PCI-7833R) so that the outputs can be synchronized. I think if it's possible it'll be easier to implement the synchronization between while loops,etc. If it's not possible, how can I interface between between fpga.vi and make the synchronization possible and make two vi's talk to each other? Thank you very much for your help!
Thanks,
Charles

I have successfully ran the same code on two (2) different FPGA boards. The difference being that the host will use different Aliases to control the FPGA boards,
Both FPGA Boards MUST be the same type ( I used PXI-7811s).
My program consisted of 6 individual communication portals and there was NO synchronization between boards

Can you have one copy of Photoshop on two devices?

I have been told by a friend that it is possible to have one copy of photoshop on two devices, however i don't know if this is true or not. I installed my copy of photoshop onto my imac around this time last year, but i have recently bought a macook pro and i would like to download it onto this computer. I would like to know if this is possible and if it is how do i do it? I have no disc drive on my macbook pro so this could also be another issue.
Thanks

Yes, it's true. Read the EULA:

You simply install it on each system. Downloads here:

Using one copy of Windows to install via boot camp and on a virtual machine?

I have a copy on windows 7 coming in the post and I was wondering if it is possible to install windows 7 via boot camp when I want to do something more memory intensive such as gaming and also install it on a virtual machine such as virtual box just for other regular stuff. Also would this be possible using one copy of windows and one licence key?

Then you need Parallels or Fusion to link to a native Windows partition.

How many computers can you use one copy of Photoshop Elements 11 on please?

I intend to purchase Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for my two student children. Could you tell me if they will both be able to install in on their respective computers?

One copy of the software can be installed and activated on two computers but a) they must be used by the same person and b) not at the same.

Using one copy of Logic 8 on multiple computers, how does it work now?

Now Apple has done away with the dongle, what's the system for using Logic 8 on more than one computer?
I have a laptop and a desktop (both still on Logic 7), i used to just take the dongle from one machine to the other, what can i expect to be doing when i upgrade to Logic 8? I assume you simply go online and register the machine you want to use with your serial number, is this correct? How long does it take? Can you do this several times a day if you want to?
Many thanks!

Before you install on each computer, put the dongle in first then run the installation routine.
You may install Logic Studio on up to two computers but you may not run it on more than one at a time. In fact, if the two computers are networked, you won't be able to run them on both at the same time.
Yes, you may swap as often as you like - there's no limitation, except that you must close down Logic on one before you start the other.

Installing Aperture on two computers

I'm seriously thinking about upgrading from iPhoto 6 to Aperture but is it possible to install one Aperture licence on two computers, a G5 and a laptop? I'm not going to use them at the same time.
I hate Macromedia because of this, you cannot install Studio 8 on two computers, even if you're the only person using both of them. Only a fool would shell out money to buy two licences for this. I seriously think software companies are cheating users on this - this should be allowed.

You could use a library mounted on a remote computer, that would be one way.
Another would be to use a program like Chronosync to synchronize changes between libraries on two different computers. Note that approach would only work if you always synchronize after making changes on only ONE computer. That is to say, if you do some changes on system A, and some changes on system B you would lose some of the changes when you synchronized because there is only one Aperture database within the library, and that holds the primary copy of all adjsutments made. There are also sidecar files, but if the database is present that would be trusted over the sidecar files.

One Time Machine drive for two computers

Okay I know that I can use one drive for my macbook pro and my iMac. But, I am wanting to keep both my computer connected to the drive, without having to disconnect one and then hooking up to the other. Is there a way for both computer to recognize the drive and pull from it for backups. Can a usb switch solve this problem or is there software that will work. Also if there is a way to do this I know that i will have to off set the backup time so that both computers are not writing to it at the same time. Thanks in advance,
Adam

you can't have a drive directly plugged in into two computers at once. what you can do is keep it plugged into one computer, back up that computer directly and back up the other computer over network (wireless or ethernet). you don't need to worry about overlapping backup times. the OS will take care of it itself.

Using one iPhone with iTunes on two PCs

Hi. Is it possible to use one iPhone with iTunes [one user account] on two PCs?
I have a desktop at home, but I'm unable to use it to update my iPhone software. I've tried several times to get to the bottom of the problem, but when I update my phone, it goes into recovery mode. As a result, I loose everything on my phone. I eventually stopped updating my phone, but now I can't get some apps to work because my iphone software are not up-to-date.
I have now authorized my PC at work in order to update my phone. It has done it successfully, but I have lost my music. Everything else is fine. Will I be able to add my music files using the PC at home?
If it works, from now on I will use my PC at work to update and back-up my phone. I know I will probably loose my music every time I do this, but it is the only way around this problem. It just means adding my music files again at home from time to time.

You can sync an iPhone with iTunes on another computer but not for any iTunes content, and you can transfer photos from a single computer only.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with music and videos with an iTunes library on a single computer ONLY. When transferring any iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first. If you don't have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and you don't have manually manage music and videos selected either with iTunes on another computer, you can sync away. If you transfer photos from another computer, all photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
The reason you can manually manage music and videos with iTunes on multiple computers with most iPods is because most iPods support disk mode, which the iPhone does not support. Disk mode is not supported with the iPhone, the iPod Touch, and the iPad.
