How many computers can I install a purchased copy of Maxim DL on? A friend and I have an observatory at his house. We would use it there for imaging and processing. But I like to also do my own processing at my house, and it would help to learn the software in my spare time at home. Would I need to purchase another copy? Or could I install the same downloaded copy on both computers? Actually, we have 2 computers at the observatory. One connected to the camera/scope, and one for whatever else we want to play with while we're imaging. I don't want to use the software illegally in any way. But I also couldn't afford 2 or 3 copies of it.
The software is intended for single use. You are allowed to install it on two computers as long as you aren't using both at the same time. This accommodates using it on a field computer for capture and a home computer for processing. The full license agreement is at http://www.cyanogen.com/help/maximdl/License_Agreement.htm
Is there any chance that, in the future, you might allow a second instance to run simultaneously via some sort of "site license"? I notice that AP now does that with their APCC software - you pay $449 for the first license and $49 for each additional one. I know - you're not AP! Mike
Keeping mind that AP sells mounts one at a time. APCC is an adjunct helper app. There's no "site license" for mounts Software is routinely undervalued, especially for the level (and cost) of support that is required for a successful software business.
I reads your reply in my email and failed to sign in here to thank you. I apologize, and thanks for the reply. Now I have another question. I just purchased the Maxim DL Pro Suite. I have installed the 30-day free trial and have been playing with it. Will I need to un-install the trial version, and then install the downloaded version? Or can I just insert the license for the download version into the trial version I now have installed?
You do not need to uninstall the software. You can insert the license information to convert MaxIm DL from the demo to full version.
Thank you, Tim. Also, I see in the email with the license where I download the MaxPoint part of it. That was going to be the next question.
Hallo Tim, what's the correct way to install a copy of maxdl in a second computer? Dowload a free version then write amy license code? or...? Thank you for answer and best regards Gianfranco Durante
If your license is eligible to use the latest version, yes, you can download the demo and activate it with your full license. You should also have received a download link with your license email.
