Title: using my arturia software on 2 machines ??
Post by: cylon on June 03, 2012, 07:24:18 pm

Hi everyone

I have just got Arturia Laboratory + software and the following arturia synths.

ARP2600 V
CS80 V
Prophet V
Oberheim Sem V

I have both a desktop Mac and a Mac Laptop.

I want to install my software on both machines but only use one at once.

How do i do this ?

Im expecting i need to buy a Dongle for the licenses, is this the case and do i just drag my license to the dongle from the Elicense app on my desktop mac.

Also where can i buy a dongle as i cant see it on the UK online store.

And will this then be capable of allowing me to use the software on the two machines ??

Thanks.

I sent you a message regarding dongles, as I'm unsure if they accept it in the forum.  :)

Hi,

you need to purchase a USB-eLicenser dongle (aka The Steinberg Key), sold by many music  stores (~$25) and transfer the licenses to the dongle.
You can then use the dongle on any computer on which the Arturia software instruments are installed. Obviously, you can only run them on one computer at a time.
More information (including a video showing how to transfer licenses) available from:
