Hello,

I recently purchased AGK2 via Steam.

I'm just wondering - does the license restrict to running the IDE and compiler on one computer, or am I allowed to install on multiple machines?

I tend to develop on both my "main computer" and on my laptop as a secondary machine whenever I'm not at my desk. Would I require two licenses, or would one be sufficient?

Kind regards,
Shock.

The impression I get is that the license is a bit like the old Borland ones - not paranoid but you have to be fair. Running it on multiple machines is almost a given because of Apple's paranoia (i.e. if you develop on Windows you need a Mac on iOS).

I would think that the developers would be okay with you having it on two machines providing it is only you using it.

normal the steam game/app is bound to your steam login. means login once at any pc.
+ steam supports family sharing up to 5 members i believe.
if u not play a game, a family member can use in this "free" time.
this should be part of the steam copy protection , don't know if tgc use this from steam.
