Two Computers One Cheif
I currently have Chief Architect X5 on one computer - but I would like to be able to use it on two computers.
Is it possible to have it installed on two different computers with on license? They will never be used at the same time - so I was hoping I would be able to install to another computer and just move the key when I need to use it.. Is this possible ?
I don't really want to have to buy a whole other license

Yes, you can but you must deactivate one before using the other.

if you have a software key then do the deactivate - activate dance
if you have a hardware key then just use it on the desired PC

So every time I want to change computers I need to deactivate and reactivate...
How do you know if you have a hardware key or software key? I have a Safe Net ket.

The hardware key is a usb dongle, the software in online deactivation thru the internet.

I haven't purchased a hardware dongle since X2 but they used to cost about $50.00.

Okay so I have a SafeNet Key which I am assuming is not the Hardware key from the looks of everything I have read?!?
So If u purchase a hardware key I can install Chief X5 on any computer and just move the key as I need it!?
Does this sounds right?

If you are upgrading to X6 and both computers have internet access, it is very easy to deactivate remotely.
