Okay we expected a turmoil. ;-) You will be able to use it on two or more
machines. Just submit your Hardware Fingerprint of each of your systems. There
is no hard-limit but it should be clear that one license isn't meant for a
10-machine-farm. Two or three are okay though. If you move to a new computer
after some time you will get a new key for your new computer as well.

We decided for activation since the market for pure playing strength is so small
and selling Fruit only to a fraction of the actual user base won't yield in a
significant turnover to support Fabien.

Perhaps I should clarify that on the website more prominent (although it is in
the Support-Area). But we don't want to invite key sharers frankly.

I hope for your understanding.

kind regards
