one thought for the back of your mind...
The recently added system of having a registration key allows multiple installations for that key... and pgmusic is willing to work with you on that.

The next version has its own key and a whole new set of installations. So its easy to have different versions installed on different computers.

I am the worlds WORST at learning new software features! I hate new learning curves and having to renegotiate changed interfaces I once understood.

My approach is to keep an old version of BIAB/RB on my performing computer. That way I don't get blindsided at gigs by some new feature that suddenly doesn't work the way it used to.

On my 2 studio computers I have progressively newer versions. This gives me a chance to warm up to the changes on projects that are in development and aren't bound to an immediate time frame. By the time a song gets filtered through all 3 computers for various stages of refinement, I've had the chance to "warm up" to the changes on the newest version without getting freaked out, because one of the older versions I still have installed can get me out of any jam that may arise.

Tablets have driven the demand (and therefore price) of PCs down, so PCs have become really cheap in my opinion. The lowest priced PC at Walmart is easily able to handle anything BIAB will throw at it.
