I am about to purchase X5 Evolution, but cannot understand what you are writing on your Q/A page: May I install the program on 2 PC's (one in my home and the other in my vacationhouse)? Best regards Christian Hoirup

Cry Hi Andre. I don't know if you are from the staff of WebsiteX5 company, but thanks for trying to help me out.

No, the link you suggested is excactly the one that confuses me, so it did not help me. It is especially this section that I see as somewhat unclear:

"However, if you have two positions (for example, a laptop and a desktop) that you don't personally use at the same time, you can install the software on both PCs. Otherwise you should buy another license of the program."

What does it mean writing "two positions", if what is ment is "two computers", as suggested in the following brackets? (By the way: A position in my language means something about your jobtitle!).

And: How can I personally use my two computers at the same time when, as I describe in my first letter, that one is situated in my home and the other in my vacationhouse...?

This might sound a little  belligerent, but I really think that the explanation in Q/A is poorly written and unnessesarilly complicated!

So, once again I'm asking one of you WebsiteX5 people: May I use my purchased and downloaded license on 2 computeres that I own, one in my townhouse and the other in my vacationhouse?

Hello Christian,

I bought 1 liscence, and install the programm on my pc and laptop.

I made a map called websiteX5backup on my clouddrive dropbox, and when i work at home or somewhere else with my laptop, before ending I export the iwzip file of my project to this map.

When I start work on the other computer I delete the project and import the latest version from my websiteX5backup map. And when i finish, i export project again.

The benefits are: I work always with the latest version of my project. Saving and importing takes less then a minute. And have always 3 !! backup versions ( One one pc , one on laptop and one on my clouddrive).

Works very good to me.

I can't understand why you want to work on the same project at 2 computers at same time.

Best regards,

Jan

Yes, you can.

With two computers at the same time, Inco means that a person on your laptop is using X5 and somebody on your desktop is using X5 all at the same time. This is not aloud. (both don't have to be you....)

But 2 computer install is no problem. To keep both up to date you have to export always the latest project and import it on the other pc if you need to work further on the other computer.

Like Jan said is one way, there are more ways to do this but this is something you need to think off / find your own way in it. But That's it.

I'm not from Inco, you can see at my picture that i am just a user.

There are moderator's, these help moderate the X5 Answers but are not from Inco, Incomedia staff is displayed as Incomdia.

If it's still not clear let me know.
