Quote - I've never been able to trick the computer into doing two Posers open at the same time. You don't state your memory configuration or OS. If you are 32 bit, then it would be pointless to try, because the OS takes up half of the 4 gig limit, and Poser takes the other half (pretty much... especially when rendering.)

I've never tried to install Poser to an external, vitachick, but I believe the installer gives the option to install to a drive other than C:, so I suspect it would work. Moving it from computer to computer probably would not, because the registry entires and dlls et all would not be on the second computer.

Perhaps Cooper or BB can chime in with a more difinitive answer.

From the EULA:

"Except as otherwise expressly permitted in the Documentation, you will only use the Program on a single computer, meaning that you must treat the Program “like a book.” "Like a

book" means that the Program may be used by any number of people and may be freely moved
from one computer to another so long as no possibility exists of the Program being used at more
than one computer simultaneously. "

My reading of this prohibits the program being installed on more than one computer at a time, even if it is you using both computers.

Thanks. I'm using a Del Inspiron 15R which I think is Windows 64 bit, and also Windows 7.

 

Poser prohibits use on more than one computer. But I'm not wanting to put it on more than one computer but on the SAME computer, just to open it twice so that I can work on things in parallel instead of series otherwise it just takes too long to do anything. My other laptop is so old that it couldn't even handle Poser anyway.
