fcp on 2 computers

[Lake Films]

Has anyone tried to use 2 computers at the same time and tried to open FCP on computer 2 and you get a message that says something like 'fcp used on another system, cannot open?' I guess this is a license issue? They don't want you to use fcp on more then one system? Any work arounds as I sometimes need 2 systems going at once...

(turn off your network connection)

Or, as the ULA says... you need to copies of the program.

Thanks Captain. I hate to sound like a newbie, but how do I shut off the network connection? Thanks.

You need to disconnect one of your computers from whatever set-up you have to access the internet, or to network the two computers. Just unplug your internert / network cable from one of the computers. That way they won't talk to each other.

It seems to be the dsr11 connection. Can this be, through a firewire connection?

Or turn off the Airport on one of them if their networked that way.

No, no airport connection. The old cable modem...

unplug the network cable

If you have two computers and you are running the net on both there is a cable that is plugged into each computer which runs will say to the cable modem or router, unplug that cable from the computer you do not want on the network.

Again... I hate to just mention...

You really need two versions of the software to do this correctly... and legally.

Wow, that's crazy, $2000 for the same owner. They should have a special price for same owner software, but hey that's in a perfect world...
