Additional license for 2nd computer?

Mystic · Post by **Mystic** » Thu Aug 15, 2013 10:59 pm

I'd like to put a second copy of the KDL Wavestation on my second computer. Although I'm not certain, it appears from the license terms that this may require me to buy a second copy of the software. However, I'm concerned that KorgUser.net may balk at giving me two separate license codes for the same product, even if I do go ahead and purchase a 2nd copy. Is there any reason for me to be concerned about that? Has anyone else here licensed two copies of the same KDLC synth for two different computers from KorgUser.net and been successful with that? Or do I need to do something tricky like signing up with a different email address in order to buy the 2nd copy?

Thanks in advance for relating any experiences you may have with this type of issue with the KDLC.

In case anyone looks in on this thread, I contacted Korg USA via email about my needs and concerns, and they were very responsive and helpful indeed.

Hi there!
So what happened? Did they force you to buy another license? I have basically the same problem with 2 instances of Korg LEgacy Collection. I happen to be the one of both worlds. One stationary PC with Windows, and a huge workstation for sounds. And a MacBook Pro that I am using for live use.

Need I separate licenses for each?

Of course, they are not in use at the same time. At all. Ever. I try to contact Swedish wholesale and KORG Japan earlier this year but no replies at all. YET.

Yeah, as far as I know, it's completely fair game. I think it's pretty much a universal: if you're a single user with two computers, and never have them being used at the same time (which is ridiculous), pretty much most licenses allow you to install on both computers. There are exceptions, but this is definitely the norm. I'm doing exactly that: studio desktop and live laptop, and I had no problems installing. Requiring one user to buy two licenses just because of their hardware setup just isn't right, and thankfully most developers realize that. It's like requiring you to have multiple copies of a digital music download, one for in the car, and one for the home stereo.
