I believe video can be installed up to 2 computers

perfect then i can authorize my buddy's comp for the night then de auth it when im done

not shore but i think you have to deauthorize from you mac before you can authorize for another computer

there has to be a way around it, what if the drive dies or the laptop dies like in djsl's situation.

I would try the install and type in the code and see what happens, it may let you de-authorize the other machine automatically with the new install

sorry i didn't mean to say that he had to de-authorize from that specific mac .......i just meant that i don't think they let you run it on more than one computer but i am not sure..i could be wrong....

but even so i would think he could de-authorize from another computer

Hi djsl,

You will be fine, as they are not running at the same time.

See this faq here: www.scratchlive.net

Cheers
