Olá a todos!
Em relação às opções de download, eu vi que é possível instalar o Dorico no Mac e no Windows mas isso vale pra várias máquinas? Por exemplo, eu posso usar a mesma licença pra vários Macs ou vários Windows?
Como seria o procedimento?
Welcome to the forum, @Thiago_Wesley. Here’s your post translated to English:
Hello everyone!
Regarding the download options, I saw that you can install Dorico on Mac and Windows, but does that apply to multiple machines? For example, can I use the same license for several Macs or several Windows?
How would that work?
Your Dorico license is cross-platform, so you can run Dorico on up to three computers for your own use, and they can be any combination of Windows and macOS computers.

I understood!
Just one more question…
For example, if I have been using it on 3 machines and want to switch to new machines, would the procedure be to log into my steinberg profile, go to “products” and “deactivate licenses on unavailable computers”? By doing this, can I grant access to any new machine?
And can I do this machine exchange procedure as many times as necessary?
I think you should do it from the Steinberg Activation Manager instead.
I think you can do that as many times as you want.

It’s confusing which is the right way to go…
Better let @dspreadbury answer this.

Provided you have access to the computers on which the software is currently activated, you should indeed run Steinberg Activation Manager and click Deactivate to remove the activation from that computer. You should only use the option on the web site if you can no longer access that computer (e.g. because it has been stolen, or suffered a catastrophic hardware failure, etc.). If you remember, you should also deactivate your software before you do a fresh reinstallation of an operating system to avoid “losing” an activation.
You can always contact support for assistance with activation-related matters if you get into a mess.
In general I understood… Just this part you said: “If you remember, you should also deactivate your software before doing a fresh reinstallation of an operating system to avoid “losing” an activation.” It wasn’t very clear to me… What is the real meaning of “missing an activation?” Does this mean that instead of being able to have the software installed on 3 different devices I will only be able to install it on 2 and so on? Is this irreversible? And why do we lose activation if we format the machine without deactivating the program?
Another thing @dspreadbury… You forgot to tell me if I can do this activation on several different machines frequently… Like, I activate a machine, then I deactivate that same machine to activate another, then I return the activation to the previous one, anyway… I say it because if you have machines spread out in several places it’s interesting to do this… Can I do this if I want???
You can activate and deactivate any combination of Windows and Mac computers on demand, up to three computer at the same time.
I understand that, but what about in my case, where I have 5 machines spread between home and studio?
Depending on where I am, I have to deactivate one machine and activate it on another…
That’s where my question comes in: can I do this whenever I need to or is there a limit to this?
Did you understand?
There is no limit, just three machines at the same time. That is it.
Did dou read that I wrote on demand?
I understand! Thanks!
If you really have five computers that you are frequently moving between, and they are all for your own personal use, I would suggest you consider investing in a second single-user license, so that you don’t need to be worrying about deactivating and reactivating every time you move from one computer to another.
Ok, Thanks!
