I might have missed this error in the forum, but I cannot locate a solution. 

I created an account for the free version. I installed it on my home computer and now I want  to install it on my work computer. I am getting an invalid license code. 

Can you install the Basic version on multiple computers? I am using the same Username and Password as the original installation, but I have removed them from the License Setup for security sake. 

 

While this is a personal interest project, I am interested offering this program to a teacher in our district. 

Thanks,

Keith

    Same problem here. If the Basic version can only ever be installed at one computer at a time, then it is a quite inconvenient restriction. The same user may easily have multiple computers at different locations.

     

    Thank you.

     

    Best regards,

    No, you cannot install student edition in multiple computers. It is locked to the Host-id which you used to generate the license file.

    If you want to use it on multiple computers and for commercial purpose, go for the full edition.

     

    See the limitations of the student edition
