Just use the same iLok on both computers. You should be able to remove the iLok from the computer once Pro Tools launches. To get a second auth you'd have to buy a second copy of PTMP.

So, I'm not going to be able to just buy an iLok key for the other computer without buying another copy of ProTools?

That is correct - one copy of Pro Tools M-Powered gives you 1 license for a single iLok. If you want to run it on multiple computers, you have to purchase another copy of Pro Tools M-Powered.

Let me get this clear. Most EULA says that you may install up to 2 computers. Provided you do not run simultaneously. Acknowledging the fact that many people have home based computer and a mobile (Laptop) computers. With iLok authorization, can I install the program in 2 computers - with one iLok I can run only one program at the time.

If you want to run 2 instances of PT simultaneously then you need to purchase another copy of PT and another iLok.

am I not right??

sample EULA excerpt

2.4 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the important restrictions set forth in Section 2.5 below, the primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed (“Primary User”) may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer. You may be required to contact Adobe in order to make a second copy.

Does Digi follow this commonly practiced EULA

You can install the M-Powered software on more than one computer, it requires the M-Powered iLok license (and a compatible M-Audio interface) to run.

For instance, you can have M-Powered on your work computer, such as a studio you work at, on your home desktop, and on your laptop. A single iLok with M-Powered license can be moved to any of these to use the program. You would only need to purchase one copy of M-Powered software (purchase includes an iLok).

Lots of users work that way, and some have more than one M-Audio interface, so they only need to move the iLok to another computer without having to move the audio interface.

Another way that some users go is to have an external hard drive with a startup system and Pro Tools installed on it, so that they can have the exact same system drive to use on more than one system. A good option if you work for multiple studios, for instance, and don't want to bring your whole computer with you or install your software on their computer.

If you want to use 2 computers with M-Powered at the same time, you would need 2 iLoks, each with a separate license for M-Powered. In that case you would need to purchase 2 full copies of M-Powered software.
