Default Two computers ?

I have two Mac pros.



Can I use one Mac and switch to the second Mac for a certain plugin I love to use, provided I take the Ilok out and switch it to the other computer back and forth.m ?

Thank you Janne.


One more question if I may. Does it matter what version what I'm using on either one provided I have have a license for those two version. THANKS

Whatever you have on your license key works on both computers, with obviously only the one computer at a time where you have the key connected. For example if you have a PT license with active support plan, you can have 12.6 on one computer and latest version on another. And you do not obviously need to install everything you have licensed, but everything you install need to be licensed to work.

No problem. You can also have multiple iloks, do not have to have all eggs in the same basket.

Are the two computers in the same room? One solution that would increase your horsepower is to interconnect them with an ethernet cable and use VEPro to do it's thing sharing the two machines.
