  • Does Adobe Suite do this?

    If I have FCP running on one Mac and want to run DVD SP on another, I get an error because Apple ties the license of ALL the Studio apps to a single serial number. But if I purchased DVDSP separately and FCP separately I could run each on different machines at the same time. I do not think it’s fair to tie all the Studio apps to a single machine and a single serial number. I’m not going to win any battles with Apple’s license, but does Adobe do this with Premier and After Effects for example, if you own the Suite?

    Rich,

    I’m not encouraging you to pirate, but wouldn’t disconnecting your network connection before booting up the second computer allow you to run DVD SP on it?

    I’m just saying that the two apps are unique. I own both…I have more than one computer. I might be rendering a bunch of filters on a FCP project and want to start a DVDSP project on the other computer while the other one crunches.

    Why can’t I do that without disconnecting the network?

    You might try asking this question on the Adobe Premiere forum.

    All the best,

    Tom

    So Rich, if they do this differently are you going to be switching over to Premiere?

    I know with Adobe’s Creative Suite CS2 the license says “unbundling is not permitted”. One suite, one computer.

    Found that out today, too. Originally I was thinking of putting Photoshop on one computer and Illustrator on another. Tis not an option, however.
