Thanks Aled, that’s a relief. Given their returns policy, the only risk is with exchange rates.

Best to ask tech support about it first.

Interesting. For an individual wishing to use more than a single machine, a normal license still provides better value.

Quite right about asking support first... Mea maxima culpa!

You can activate a single license on 3 machines, so that may be enough for you anyway?

True, I must say I am happy with the value I am getting. They're also super supportive for my Institute's licensing. Excellent service from them.

Quite so yes, R4 has already been exhausted: main, portable rig and wife’s laptop for her casual listening, which she’s still more than happy with. So with an additional 3 machines for SoundID, I’m nicely catered for when the portable rig is worth upgrading.
