    Hi.. I'm going to buy the license for the BB2 next week.. But I have two question.

    1 - I have two computers. One PC and One MAC.. Can I use the same license on both computer?
    2 - Can I copy the same "game.bbdoc" file from PC to MAC or vice versa? Because sometimes I work on the PC and sometimes on the MAC

    Sorry, but I'm new on BB .. And I LOVE THIS TOOL.!!

    It can only be activated in 2 copies of BB, they can be both Mac and PC and work just projects.

    one licence for single machine what ever it then, mac or pc,

    once you Install it get permanently attached with that computer, if in case you loss your computer, stolen, crash etc etc...
    then you need to mail BB support they allow you to access new computer with that license,

    you can't use simultaneously same license for two computers.


    Thanks

    @miguelnievas i believe that is inaccurate, if I remember correctly when I read the liscence it allows for 2 computers so you can work on the go on your laptop...

    Just reread the license

    @heathclose is that licence for two computers at same time (simultaneously)?

    i face that problem 13 months ago, and i got all clarification from support team about it.
    but don't know new rules About BB 2 that's way i can't say confidently anything now but for BB 1 you can use single licence key only once on one Computer.

    Thanks.

    The license, in short, is and always had been, 1 license for 2 computers, non-concurrent use.

    Glad this question has been raised, as I was having a chat with the Missus today about her loading some graphics into BB1 to bring some old PM games up to date.
    Q: Can I have: Missus = BB1 on her Macbook. Me using BB2 on iMac both at the same time? We both work from home, so same IP address. Would this be okay @Andy?

    It is good to know, so if you left BB running at home you are out of luck for the entire journey...

    That's when you realize you really wish you had installed and set up that remote desktop app

    Heres a question, If you buy the 3k deal, and own the software outright versus monthly, the key you get, does it allow you to work in BB offline or must you still always be online?

    to start bb, but once you start it with a connection, you can put your laptop to sleep and work on bb all day, anywhere... as long as you keep sleeping the unit and not close bb...
