Hi,

is it possible to install WFP on a 2nd Mac?

I tried it a while ago and followed the necessary steps. Then I had to sent an email to the WFP support, I think in order to get a license back via email, but I never got any response.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks and Happy Saturday

I use USB External drive and OSX and WFP. They are combination widely used in Windows but they also work with Mac OS. They are portable harddisk, one for both Windows and Mac -- muti-boot system. The new license is not required.
Ask your computer expert to install such the system.

Thanks Oct 29, 2016

Hi Soonthon,

let me see if I understood it right: You install WFP on an external hard drive and then simply connect between different computers?

Cheers

Use Activation Key Oct 31, 2016

I have Wordfast Pro 4 licensed on two Macs, and also on the Windows 10 partition of each Mac. I simply used the Activation Key sent for the first installation on the others. If there is a problem, contact the Hotline. Wordfast seem very generous about the interpretation of the two computers rule, and they confirmed about two years ago that four installations on two Macs was fine. It is worth making full use of their offer and fully licensing the second computer.
