Best way to upgrade

Please, I could use a little assistance here.

I run a business, and I write my own website for it. To keep things short I've found Web Designer Premium to be the best program to work with, realizing I want the site to look nice but don't have lots of time to study and learn everything -- just write the page and upload. It doesn't work on my (very old) desktop, so I use my laptop for this. I have version 16; I've waited for a new desktop and now I have it. What is the best way to set up the latest Premium on the desktop? The price is $59, or $39 for upgrade. Do I need to upgrade on my laptop first, then somehow find a code for my desktop? Please tell me how I can best upgrade, installing this on both computers (Windows 10 on both). Thanks!

Hi,

Simply upgrade to the latest version. You'll get a link to the download and probably links to anything else that happens to be bundled with it, if any. In the same email will be the serial number or activation code. Use it to activate making sure to use your email address that is registered with Magix as the user name. It will then be registered in your account with Magix.com under My Products. You are allowed two simultaneous activations (2 devices) so simply download the installer from Magix or from your account or copy it from your other computer if you kept it (probably under Magix\Downloads), run it and use the same serial number / email address. Done.

If you need a third computer, you have to deactivate one of the others; easily done in your account. And so on,
