Can I install PD 18 on my three computers?
One is a desk computer at home, second my work laptop, third is my private laptop.
All are for my use only and won't be used at the same time.
I want to buy this software but beforehand make sure that I'll be able to work
on PD projects at home but also on my laptops during my frequent business trips.

You can install a single license of PowerDirector on two computers.

It depends on which license you have. StevenG's response is correct if you have the subscription version (PD365), but if you have the perpetual license for PD18, you're only allowed to install on a single computer.

You will need to uninstall PD18 from the first computer before installing it on another one. If you have the subscription version and try to install it on more than 3 PCs, you will get an activation warning and will have to uninstall at least one of them.

Of course, although it would have been better for you to have started a new discussion rather than posting in the PD18/365 forum.

You will just need to have the installer for the new computer. If you don't have it, you'll need to contact Cyberlink customer support as shown in the FAQs.
