use on two PCs, strictly one at a time : do I need to buy a second key?

christos · 10-19-2008, 02:33 PM

Hello there. I've just purchased a keycode for Marine Aquarium 2.6, after reading in MA3's beta thread that currently purchased 2.6 keys will continue to be valid as far as version 3 is concerned.

My question is of a different nature. I'm not certain about the licensing terms. Am I allowed to install Marine Aquarium 3 on more than one computers (in my case, my desktop and a laptop) so long as it is not used concurrently on both machines? Or do I have to buy a second key for this use?

Thank you in advance for clearing this up for me!

You may use 1 key on all the computers you own.

Best 12 euros I've spent this year.

This policy is going to earn MA3 tremendously positive word-of-mouth (and sales).

It's not just MA3. This has been true from day 1.

Yep,

Jim has always said that the purchaser has the right to use the key on any computer that they personally own. I sure wish that everyone had that policy.
