If I purchase Audio Studio 17 will the license allow me to install the program on my PC and a backup on my laptop. There's only one of me, so only one at a time can be used.
@dave-d Yes, two activations are possible simultaneously. You can always disable each activation via the Help menu (or in your customer account), for example if you want to activate it on a third computer. You can also buy additional activation seats from customer support in case you need the software installed and activated on three or four or more computers simultaneously .
The subscription version, "Sound Forge Audio Studio 365" can only be activated on one (1) PC at a time. So if you want to have AS-17 on two PCs simultaneously, be sure you choose the perpetual version of "Sound Forge Audio Studio 17".
btw, welcome to the Magix Sound Forge users community @dave-d.
