Using two macs with one copy of LE8?

Hi, I've got a copy of logic express 8 installed on my iMac, and wanted to use it on my dad's Macbook so that I can use it at practices/live etc. but it only comes with one license number, so when I try and install it on the macbook it says it's already registered. Is there any way over this?

Hi,
normally, it is possible to use the License Key twice (on two Macs). That's what the license says. If it isn't possible, i'd suggest to phone apple for support.

  • Can I use two Macs with one iTunes library?

    I currently have an iMac with my iTunes library stored on an external drive, and a shiny new MacBook Pro waiting for me at the Apple Store. If I transfer my entire library from the external drive to a new MacBook, can I still access my library seemlessly on my old iMac [possibly using Home Sharing]? I would like to use both computers to access the same content, in an office and then mobile setting.
    Also, if I continue to make purchases on my old iMac from Amazon or eMusic, is there a way to automatically store/transfer those on the new MacBook, the same way they are automatically stored on the external drive now?
    I do have the capability and plan on connecting my external drive to my AirPort Extreme after the transfer, if that makes any difference.

    See I wouldn't want to necessarily make a copy, but rather copy the library itself; so it is no longer stored on the external drive, and it's new home would be the MacBook Pro. I was wondering if I could access the MacBook library from my iMac the same way I access the external drive on my iMac. Or if I'm overthinking the Home Sharing service and really have nothing to worry about.
    I do have my entire library in the iCloud, and am a Match subscriber, but it is important that I have the songs actually stored on my MacBook so I can access them when I am without an internet connection.

  • Can you use two ipads with one itune account

    We have two ipads and one Itunes account.  Are we able to have separate accounts within iTunes so my husband can have his games on his account and I can have mine?

    Can you have two iphones with one iCloud account?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Absolutely. There is no problem whatsoever in using a single iCloud account for two phones. However, saying that, if the two phones are used by different people, it may well not be the best of ideas.

  • Sharing between two macs with one user account?

    Is it possible to connect two macs to share documents and music if they are both logged into the same user account?
    I recently bought a Mac Mini and when setting it up, I transferred everything from my Macbook Pro to it, including my user profile which I now also use on the Mini.
    Since setting up the Mini, I've been using both machines so the content on both is no longer identical. There have been occassions where I have wanted to transfer something from the MBP to the Mini or vice-versa over wi-fi and have encountered problems. I suspect this is because I am using the same user account and they get confused.
    I don't need the two macs to be identical in their content, however there are times when I want to share or quickly transfer music, documents or Garageband files from one to another. Would I be better off setting up different profiles for the Mini and the MBP to achieve this? Is there a better way to do what I'm trying to do?

    There have been occassions where I have wanted to transfer something from the MBP to the Mini or vice-versa over wi-fi and have encountered problems. I suspect this is because I am using the same user account and they get confused.
    Could you please explain, what kind of problems exactly you encountered? Error messages? Corrupted files? And why do you think the problem is caused by the same user profiles?
    Like markwmsn I have no problem with sharing using the same account name on all my macs. Only since upgrading to Mt. Lion I usually use AirDrop to send single files. That saves the trouble to copy the files to a public folder.
    Do both your macs support Air Drop?

  • Can I control two Macs with one keyboard & mouse simultaneously?

    I'm presently the operator and head audio tech for a major Off-Broadway show. I'm running the show on Ableton Live 6 through a Mac Mini, using a MOTU 828mkIII as the Firewire audio interface to the console. "Show control" is basically straight music playback, plus arming and disarming loops, triggering sound FX cues, and stopping and starting playback. The show has been exceedingly stable, no real reason to worry - but the fact that I don't have a redundant backup system concerns me. Theoretically, I can use our Denon CD players to run the show off of discs I've burned, but it's only viable for me because I know the show; a sub running the show would be up the creek - and if we hit a snag and run out of loops, forget it. Furthermore, those of you who've worked with Live know that in a performance based/show control situation, you can remain in an audio loop indefinitely, without any worry of a CD running out of prerecorded loops. (This is a specific reason why we're using Ableton for this show - the music can keep "vamping" until automation and rigging give me the clear to proceed.)
    Considering that I'll be taking some time off this summer, I don't want this to be a concern for my sub(s), so I've charged myself with the task of building a redundant backup. Problem is, I'm not sure how to do it.
    What I've been looking at is a dual Ableton Live/Mac Mini/Firewire interface system. Basically, to duplicate what's running the show presently, and have it running in tandem while the main playback system goes to the house - but for both to be controlled by only one mouse, keyboard and screen, so there's no delay in the event of a crash. If one fails, I send the audio from the backup into the theatre. There would be no disruption of playback, except for the operator`s response time in switching to the backup`s audio output.
    Software like Synergy and Teleport let me share a single keyboard, mouse, and screen over two or more computers - +but only control one computer at a time+. And I've looked for KVM switches and USB "splitters" but they also seem to be toggle devices between one or another computer - which leads me to think I may have to network the two...
    Any ideas are appreciated, even the obvious ones, as I may have overlooked some or assumed some to be out of the question.
    That`s basically it - *simultaneous realtime* control of two computers from one keyboard and mouse. Both Minis performing the same task at the same time.
    Is there software/hardware that can do it, or can I network the backup as a "slave" that mimics the master?
    Thanks.

    Perhaps you could setup a parallel processing network:

  • Is it possible to use two speakers with one Apple Tv ?

    Hello everyone,
    I bought an Apple Tv and I have one apple express with a Bose speaker and a Bose Link Air speaker.
    I would like to see a movie using the two speakers but every time that I try to select two speakers in the airplay Apple Tv menu, it automatically deselect the other speaker.
    Is it possible to use two speakers in the same time ? ( I know it's possible with Itunes)
    Thank,
    Ps: I have the last Apple TV

    No, that is not possible with Apple TV. You can set one 'output' via Apple TV, and 'stream' to multiple speakers from iTunes or via the remote app.

  • Using two computers with one Extigy sound c

    Hello:
    This is my first post; am wondering if there is a way to plug the Extigy USB input into two computers at the same time, perhaps with a USB sharing device? Has anyone ever tried this? Thanks. Glad to be part of the new community group.

    Is it possible to stream audio from two computers (one Mac and one Windows) to a single Airport Express?
    Yes, but only one at a time.
    Does one take precedence over the other?
    No, you would need to determine which computer was streaming music at any given time.

  • Css is it possible to use two VIPs with one source group?

    I have separate VIPs defined for balancing dns and radius. Both services are being balanced behind the CSS between two servers running both services. Is there a way, using source groups, to have the outbound dns udp lookups go out the associated dns VIP and a client's returning radius udp traffic sourced from the associated radius VIP?
    Just a note for clarity: both services defined for dns and radius have the same ip addresses. I can only define one of the services(i.e. dns) in a single source group which automatically associates the other service (i.e. radius) to that group.

    If I understand your question correctly, you want to have the same real server respond with a different source address based on with VIP was used to get to it.
    You can only put on instance of the server's ip address into a source group. That is you can't add the service name used for one rule into one group, and the service used in the other rule into another group, since the CSS only looks at the source address when it is determining to use the source group based on the service named in it. In order to have the same server use two different source groups, you would need ACL clause with the sourcegroup option, like
    permit any 10.0.0.1 eq 53 dest any sourcegroup
    permit any 10.0.0.1 dest any sourcegroup

  • Using two iPhones with one Apple id

    Hello!!
    I am currently an iPhone 3GS user.  I just got my new iPhone 5 and as I use two numbers, thought of switching my other number to this 3GS and thus using 2 iPhones for both the numbers.  So, can someone tell me if I can use the same Apple id for both the cell or I need to create a new one to use two iPhones.  (Please note: I use iCloud only for contacts sync and dont mind having same contacts on both the devices)
    Shall appreciate a quick response!
    Thank you. 

    Really appreciate this quick response.  So I guess there won't be an issue to use the same id on two iPhones at the same time.
    Thanks again!

  • Using two Macs with differing OSs.   Password refused on one for purchases/updates

    I'm running an old MacPro with OS10.5.8 and a 27" i7 iMac withOS10.9.5 which I use for working in FCPX.   The older MacPro still had FCP6 in use.    For a little while now Apple refuses to recognise my password for their store downloads and updates.    As I don't gain in any way by using these two differing OSs, is there a way to get Apple to accept my circumstances -and allow my excess to their Store and iTunes from either machine, please?

    Anyone . . . ?    Please.

    Using iPod with Multiple Computers

  • Using two computers with one IPhone

    I have two offices, and two office computers. I'd like to sync all the Outlook data on each computer with my IPhone. Also, is there any way to have the music list in ITunes in one computer sync through the IPhone to the second computer?

    On the Outlook data, your best bet is to use something like Google Sync. I have three computers (one work, one home desktop, one home netbook) all synced up with my iPhone using Google. And it's free.
