PG Music Home Forums PG Music Product Forums Band-in-a-Box for Macintosh On how many computers can BiaB be activated?

Hi,

Is it correct that Band-in-a-Box 2025 (audiophile version) can be installed and activated on up to three different computers or Macs, but can only be used on one device at a time? If you want to use it on a fourth computer, would you first need to deactivate the activation on another device and then reactivate it? Thank you for your response.
Best Regards
Nomi

I am not aware of a restriction that limits the usage to only one system at a time
