Question "DIY License", how many PCs can I register?

    Hi everyone, I need to know something:
    I built n° 6 miniaturized prototypes to do experiments in my lab:

    2DOF (with brushed motors)
    3DOF (with brushed motors)
    2DOF (with brushless motors)
    3DOF (with brushless motors)
    4DOF (with brushless motors)
    6DOF (with brushless motors)

    I want to put them all into operation together, each with its own computer, to see them move together and verify their defects, which one is the best, which one I like the most. So later I will decide to build the simulator in real size.
    If I buy n° 1 DIY license, how many PCs does it allow me to activate and use at the same time?

    There is nothing stopping you from using as many installs as you want of the demo version of SimTools, which includes the fully functional plugin for Live For Speed specifically for testing purposes, which would cover the use case you specify.

    That said, the SimTools EULA for licensed versions is pretty clear the license is for 1 PC install only: https://simtools.us/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/EULA-License-Agreement.pdf

    Hi Norbeast, and thanks for the answer.
    But maybe I wasn't clear in the question (I use Google Translate).
    I don't have to use the DEMO version, I have to use the DIY license and use rFactor1 with AI guidance (automatic). I absolutely have to use rFactor because I will only have to watch the behavior of the 6 mini simulators.
    I therefore need to set in motion SIMULTANEOUSLY n°6 prototype simulators (mini simulators of 50x50 centimeters) to establish which of the 6 is the best by watching them move together.
    So I have to use Simtools on 6 computers at the same time.
    My question is simple: how many computers can I activate with n°1 DIY license?
    If I buy only n°1 DIY license, and install the activation key on the 6 computers, will I get an error message about usage limits?
    Explain to me better, thanks
