Second seat - should I get carried away?

Dorico
1

Welcome to new users from Finale. I moved to Dorico about 4 years ago from Finale - it was frustrating at the time, because the programmes work so differently from each other, but it is worth it in the long run. The team have worked hard to make a lot of training videos available, which obviously take time to watch, but I can really recommend - they flatten the steep learning curve. And this forum is the best.

To my question: since I have Finale v.26, presumably I could buy a second copy of Dorico Pro, at 75% off. I am thinking it will never ever be this cheap again, and I can’t resist a bargain. Is there any reason why I would need a second copy of Dorico? Does anyone else have more than one copy? Why?

Unless you got marvellously “carried away”, like Betty Comden and Adolph Green with Leonard Bernstein:

Many thanks

I don’t think there’s any good reason to buy a second copy of Dorico Pro, unless you have somebody that you work with often that you wanted to gift a license to. Provided you never need to run the software on more than three computers with regularity (and if you do, congratulations on your IT empire :slight_smile: ), there’s really no need for a second license.

Thank you. I hadn’t realised that the current licence was for three computers. Good to know. Best of luck with all the additional business. Clearly you didn’t get this Sunday off, but I hope you do get a rest sometime.

Well, I did buy (a third) one… It will be a (second) gift for people I like and work with, when the occasion comes.

Interestingly, when I purchased the Dorico crossgrade, I got an additional licence for Finale 27, which gives me another crack at the crossgrade… :grin:

Ha, infinite loop.
