Hello. Just purchased PowerDirector 14 on the end of year sale, and had a question. The product key I was emailed, will it work on a single machine? Or can I have it on both work and home machine as I go back and forth? I don't want to install the software and activate it on work machine here, if it's limited to one (I would just install on my home machine).



Thanks.

Auzette:

Welcome to the PD14 Forum. I had a look around my PD14, but could not find the EULA or a licensing file, but then there are lots of places for PD14 to hide that information.

From what I know, having been on this Forum for some time, the software is licensed to a single computer, unless you purchased more than one licence.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will confirm, or correct, this information.

Have a great day.

Hello, Auzette and garioch7!

Interesting this topic should pop up again, albeit in a new thread! I've always considered it to be nothing short of sheer greed that a company, like Cyberlink or any other company making whatever type of software, should restrict an end-user to installing on just one computer. This is akin to buying an LP or CD of favourite music and being told you may only play it on one designated turntable or CD player. If such policies were enforced by record companies, they'd end up bankrupt as no-one would buy any records or CDs under such conditions. Considering the expense one goes to in order to obtain the software(any software), then it should be the prerogative of the end user(s) as to how he/she/they will use the software, and on how many computers it shall be installed. If the one person(or company) owns several computers, then he/she/they sould be free to install on all or as many of those computers as he/she wants/they want - from the one installation disc!

Cheers!

Neil.
