Hello everyone!
I have a spare PC to use in case my current PC crashes. Is it possible to install Prime on both PCs using the same license? (Sorry for my ignorance!)
Thank you for your reply.
Regards.

@MartinHanak  Not sure if this applies to all licence types, but can't you move the license yourself using the PTC license managing site?

 

Hi,

the following applies to commercial licenses:

User can move his license using https://my.ptc.com/ site.

Hi,

it depends of license type.

 

If you own locked license then you can use Prime on single PC. If PC crashes then you have to ask PTC to move license to another PC,

 

If you own floating license then you can use Prime on any PC in computer network. If PC which server as license server crashes then you have to ask PTC to move license to another PC,

 

Note: floating license file contains SERVER and DAEMON lines.

I use the PCs independently, meaning they're not part of a computer network since they're laptops, even though they're connected to the same home Wi-Fi network. In that case, a floating license is worthwhile, right?

Hi,

the following applies to commercial licenses:

If user wants to run Prime on 2 independent PCs then he has to buy 2 licenses.

Note: WiFi network is computer network, too. The PCs "see" each other.
