    You simply activate it on both PC's with the same registration details buddy.

    Simtools can be activated on two computers with one registration information, right? Can only two or the same registration information activate more than two?

    SimTools can only be installed simultaneously on 2 computers if you are using the Dual PC control setup, see the SimTools Manual and the FAQ tips here to do so, and the SimTools EULA.

    Can I install simtools on two computers at the same time with only one activation code?

    No not according to the EULA.

    SimTools does have a limited number of reactivation, but that is meant to be for things like hardware upgrades, not multiple PC installations.

    You can use the demo version of SimTools, with the fully functional LFS for testing purposes on any PC.

    That means you have to buy two activation codes if you want to run simtools in dual mode. Do I understand that right?

    To be clear, as per my earlier reply, if you are using a Dual PC control setup, see the SimTools Manual and the FAQ tips here, you can do so using a single SimTools license.

    But, as per the EULA, you can't use a SimTools DIY license on multiple individual computers.

    I've learned that only when using simtools dual computer mode can two computers be activated with an activation code. It's not allowed at other times.
