Hi all, I wonder if anyone can advise how many devices the paid version of Sky can be installed on? My trial version is due to end and I plan to purchase when it does. As I alternate between my office computer and laptop, I am keen to retain the software on both. Would this mean purchasing twice?

No, you get two devices. And when one of my two computers with SKY crashed, Kamm helped me unregister one allowance and register it to my new computer; so I still had it on both and didn't have to "waste" the allowance on my dead computer.

Except it is 3 with SKY 7. I said that on an earlier post. BUT Kamm is indeed the final word.

Really? I must have it installed on a lot of dead computers...

    I had a similar problem when my PC crashed and had the second SkyIndex on my wife's. It's probably obvious, but when you're planning a change to a new PC or laptop, deactivate SkyIndex on the one you're disposing of before you get rid of it. Then you won't have to bother Kamm. I think the deactivate process is in the Help menu.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I emailed Kamm who confirmed that it is two devices, and older devices can be deactivated to allow for installation on new devices. This was his reply:

To answer your question… The license for the paid for program allows two activations on any two computers and can be deactivated and reactivated at will as long as the program is not activated on more than two computers as a time.

I am delighted! 

I hope you are having a good week.

Helen
