    I was using three computer with 4V, one for the shooting room, one for my work-flow room, and one for the show for my clients. I upgraded to 5 but can only activate two computer, , do I have to purchase another copy?

    If you have a standard license, you have two options.

    1.) You have the software on all three computers and have to deactivate one from use and then activate it on the one that is not activated. The standard license is good for two computers. You would have to go back and forth like this then.

    2.) Buy a second license.

    I hope this helps.

    Like I said use to be three activation for years

    1) not going back and forth to activate of deactivate.
    2) not going to purchase another license
    3) just be easier to support one company instead of two.

    I wish you good luck then in finding a company that will grant you more than 2 computers per license without purchasing an extended or site license. Even Adobe limits you to two computers for a standard license. As far as I know C1 V4 has always had the two computer cap per standard license.

    Originally it was effectively the individual that was licensed so one could install it on any number of machines as long as only one was ever in use at the same time. But impossible to police so I think it was changed when server based activation was introduced; with version 3?
