Cletus 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2013 I just bought NXT Pro. I'd like to convert video and do light image editing from my laptop, but I use my more formidable desktop for the heavy lifting. Most applications are fine with this arrangement - will I run afoul of Roxio's licensing if I do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Jim_Hardin 418 Report post Posted August 30, 2013 Yes as the EULA states 1 License = 1 PC... Of course if you could un-install the laptop and install it on your PC and since you are already registered, how would they ever know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Brendon 198 Report post Posted August 30, 2013 Well isn't that just an unacceptable situation. It's fairly standard in the industry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Cletus 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2013 Depends on who you're dealing with. Several vendors have a single user policy - my compiler for one, my Windows explorer replacement for another. As long as only one person uses the software at any given time, they don't care on how many machines you install it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Brendon 198 Report post Posted August 31, 2013 I've never heard of Roxio going after a customer for using the software on both his computers, unless the customer is drawing attention to what he's doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 jolafson 1 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 I have a similar, but somewhat different situation. I have purchased a new PC and want to transfer my copy of Creator NXT to the new computer. I would uninstall the program from the old computer and reinstall on the new one with the same Serial Number. I have tried to go through proper channels and submitted the question to Roxio Customer Support, but have not received an answer. If I try to submit the question to Roxio Technical Support, they want to charge me $25. So much for trying to do the right thing! Has anyone else uninstalled and reinstalled NXT on a different computer? Jerry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 jolafson 1 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 Thanks! I also perused other Roxio forum topics and discovered that you are allowed 10 installs. You can examine the ROXIO_SETUP.LOG file to see how many times the product has been registered with Roxio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jerry Yes. You are allowed 10 installs, and then it will not install again, unless Roxio/Corel resets it. It does not mean that you can throw the EULA out the window. The 10 times is there in case you have had troubles on your computer, and you find it necessary to install it again. Or, if your computer goes belly up, and you need to install it to a new computer. Since you have used it 10 times already, contact Roxio and ask if they will reset the number so you can install it again.
