Can I install my media purchased from shopscholar.com on more than one computer?
a) Licensed Device. Before you use the software under a license, you must assign that license to one device (physical hardware system). That device is the "licensed device." A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a separate device.
• You may install and use any number of copies of the software and of any prior version of the software on the licensed device.
• Except as described in the Remote Access section below, only one user may use the copies on the licensed device at a time.
• You may reassign a license, but not on a short-term basis (i.e., not within 90 days of the last assignment). If you reassign a license, the device to which you reassign the license becomes the new licensed device for that license.
b) Portable Device. You may install a copy on a portable device for use by the single primary user of the licensed device.
