Sophie Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi, i have the student edition, and have been having problems with my computer. I've already installed VW on 2 machines, but am thinking I'd like to remove it from at least one of these, and put it on another, new laptop. I would only actually want it on one machine..... but i know there is some limitaion on how many times i can install it. What happens if you've wasted a go on a laptop you don't want to keep? And if my new laptop was a mac, (previously they've been pcs) would that make a difference? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Yoginathaswami Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Aloha, Sophie: I don't think there is a limitation how many times you can install but you can only run one serial number at any time. There was a time when my Mac crashed several times in a month and I installed it multiple times?no issue with that. You may need to get a new serial number for the Mac. Contact VW tech. support.

Sophie Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 OH great thanks very much for getting back to me..... So you're a mac user? Would you recommend it? I mean i imagine you would.... but is it THAT much better than a pc? Quote Link to comment
Sophie Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'm not quite sure why the Mac book pro's have lower spec than pcs, yet seem to be recommended..... is it just a more efficient way of using the processor/ ram etc? Quote Link to comment
Yoginathaswami Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Aloha, Sophie: Mac is the only computer I have ever used! If you ask me, YES highly recommended?most Mac users will give you similar answer. That said there are many VW users use PC. Ultimately, it comes to personal preferences, cost and how much time you are willing to devote maintaining the computer after you purchased it. To truly compare their specs. the computers must be tested against a known benchmark. You probably will find comparison charts if you goggle it. Quote Link to comment
Sophie Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Thanks ... I'm going to make the switch from pc to mac... Quote Link to comment
