    I don’t know where is proper to post my question on this. I guess this place may be the one.

    I already have the SimTool pro and Plugs Prem licenses on my dedicated Racing Sim PC. I am building a new flight sim now and bought a new PC that is dedicated to the flight sim. Questions I have:

    1) how many PCs are allowed to install the SimTool and Plugs per a set of Licenses I bought?

    2) If only one PC is allowed, then on the 2nd PC if I need to buy the 2nd set of License, can I use same Xsim use ID or I need to sign up as a new user ID?

    3) details of procedure or descriptions how would be very appropriated.

    thanks a lot.

    I have installed it on 4 PC's here. Although only one of them runs a 6dof rig I have used different laptops to play around with some G-Seat designs and the RC Rider programs. You may have to email Simtool to get additional installs authorized but they are very generous about this.
    As a side note. You can start using the mover software. It is worth learning how to use. (believe me !) lol

    The SimTools EULA specifies that a license is specific to an installation on a single PC, or can be used on 2 PCs if SimTools is configured in dual install mode: https://simtools.us/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/EULA-License-Agreement.pdf

    SimTools does provide a small number of additional activations, this is to allow for situations such as upgrading a computer or motherboard, it is not as @T R Para suggests for concurrent activations on multiple PCs.

    An additional license provides an additional unique activation key, and you can clarify matters relating to SimTools installations and activations via the SimTools website: https://simtools.us/contact-us/
