Use on more than one computer

One of the biggest drawbacks to FF is that you can use it only on ONE computer.

This has created issues in the past because it meant i would need to close the file i'm working on in PS5, copy it to a thumb drive, take it to the older macbook pro and use FF in PS4. If you happen to be a working professional with computers at different locations this gets to be old and tiresome very quickly.

Recently i purchased the full versions of both Nik and OnOne software and those come standard with validation on two machines. Furthermore, OnOne will validate your license on three machines if you simply ask them. I'm not sure if Nik will do this because i haven't asked yet.

I've been a supporter of FF since the beginning, having paid up front pre-release of version 1.0 and think its pretty KEWL, but this one machine policy is preventing me from shelling out any more cash for updates/upgrades.

I got an email fr om support confirming that each license is for one computer only meaning I'll only put it on one machine. Personally I agree with speedie and think that each license should really cover two machines as quite often users will have a main PC and a laptop but hey, I suppose they need to eat

At least I'm buying it and not going to over to Demonoid wh ere a cracked copy is available

Given that developers of high-end professional software realize that so many of their paying customers have multiple machines and allow for that reality, it makes FF's policy of one machine seem so very provincial. I wish FF would wake up on this one and smell the coffee.

William also raises a relevant point. The one machine policy may be driving some users into the crack zone. I would never do it, but i'm sure this kind of blowback is aggravated by that executive decision. Is this really the scenario FF wants to create?
