    Perhaps this has been posted before but this information slips from my mind currently. :D
    How many PCs in the same home can use a single NOD32 AV license?

    One PC per license. You can, however, use NOD32 on multiple operating systems on one PC, provided the operating systems are within the scope of the license (e.g. Dualbooted Windows)

    I don't know what to say :doubt:

    NOD32 does offer family pack discounts for up to 3 PCs, but its much higher compared to that of an F-Prot license.

    Even Kaspersky allows for installation on 2 computers if you purchase any 6.0 version product of theirs, not to mention BitDefender (2 PCs), BullGuard (3 PCs) and Defender Pro (3 PCs).

    As a product, NOD32 is great, but their licensing deals are slightly stingy. But still, NOD32 has good value for money, because you get total malware protection for your money.

    firecat,

    these rules hit power-users like you harder than most.

    I know... it doesn't help - but them's the rules!

    Although NOD32 is allowed to be used only on 1 machine , I would like to say that here in Bulgaria NOD32 is the cheapest AV software (except from F-prot allowing it to be run on 5 machines) :D

    I have not seen that. Are you sure, Firecat? If so it has changed very recently, and since I have a 2 year license I am interested in the facts of it.

    Thanks,
    Jerry

    Please, search on the KAV forums for it, Most likely Don Pelotas will be able to answer for sure. I'm not sure myself, but I read *somewhere* this policy is official now. But this is the NOD32 forum, we don't want to get the thread closed. :doubt:

    I said "slightly" stingy. :)

    McAfee, Norton = VERY stingy licensing deals

    Trend Micro is about the same as NOD32 in my view (OK, maybe a bit more stingy). And did I not say NOD32 offers good value for money? :)

    Maybe Marcos can tell us if this is still the licence agreement that is in effect?

    Here is what the Kaspersky license says. It looks like you are not allowed to load it on two computers.

    -quote

    1. License Grant. Subject to the payment of the applicable license fees, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Kaspersky Lab hereby grants you the non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use one copy of the specified version of the Software and the accompanying documentation (the "Documentation") for the term of this Agreement solely for your own internal business purposes. You may install one copy of the Software on one computer.

    - end quote

    He doesn't have to. This is a quote from the standard email you receieve when you purchase a license.

    As you can see the license is on a per computer basis.

    I already agree with that.

    What I was thinking was that under the licence agreement I posted earlier it may be possible to use one NOD32 licence on multiple virtual PC's since they all run on one CPU... but, I can see elsewhere that the main licence agreement is different to this and will post it soon.

    Cheers :)

    Hmm - Im sure this must be covered in EULA. I imagine per Windows Installation. If you have multiple VM's - each of these 'VM' in essence has a CPU of their own even if it's not a Physical CPU ie. an emulated one it's still a CPU.
