I just bought a new PC and went to install my PF3 onto it only to learn that I can only have one PF3 activated at one time!

Now the issue with this is I have it activated on my laptop due to travel and I want it on my PC as well. Now why isn't this allowed after we have spent $70 odd dollars for a program that we can only use on one of our systems?!

Well, I think Dave will respond here, but I was wondering what are the licensing provisions of your other software? My Active Sky license specifically says, "This software may only be used by one person on one computer."

All the others I have installed on both computers. This is the only one I cant do it with. REX weather, FDC, FSX etc etc all work on both.

I get its to do with piracy, I do and completely understand that but surely there is another way and not deprive genuine people who pay good money for the program and not allowing them to enjoy it on multiple PC's. I am now uninstalling it on my laptop just so I can play it on my home computer.

I believe you also emailed me and I have replied to that and I have reset your activation code.

You can install PF3 on as many computers as you like but it can only be activated on one. You simple need to deactivate it on the first machine before activating it on the second. This can be done via Options #2 from the main display and then click on 'Deactivate your PF3 Licence on this PC'. This should certainly address your particular issue.
