    Hi all!

    I have a question about the new SimTools 2 and a dual PC setup. I purchased the license and now I'm wondering how do I use the license on a Dual PC setup.... Do I use it on the PC running the Game manager or Game engine?
    I haven't started installing anything.

    Thank you!

    Ok I understand that I get one license.. I'm asking if I install game manager on one PC and game engine on the other. On witch PC do I need to input the license? In shot witch PC is going to be latched to? The one running Game manager or the one running Game engine?
    Thank you

    @tadythefish License both PC's with the same license number.
    Register both with the same license.
    Take care,
    yobuddy

    edit: be sure to set the correct ip address in both the GameManger and GameEngine.
    Both found in the tools section of each app.

    Thank you!
    I was thinking of doing that but I was stuck at the idea that the license would latch only to one pc...
    Yes IP.. That is not a problem.. I was running 1.3 on a dual PC setup before...

    I really don't want to ask all these stupid questions. But the licesne is one time and if I f**k up.. Well you know what I mean:))
    I was thinking of using the license on a regular PC. On that PC I would run only the Game engine (maybe embed that PC to my sim) .
    In short I thought that only the Game engine needed the license.. Not both
