Are dongles cros platform?

Anonymous — Mon, 18 Apr 2005 20:31:25 GMT

As the subject of the topic says "Are dongles cross platform", ie Mac OS X with PC for Archicad 8 & 9? Can one dongle be used on a Mac and then taken out and plugged into a PC.

Any help,

Cheers,

Rustybob

Yes.

For all the gripes about having the protection key, this is one of the joys: that GS gives us both the Mac and Win versions of the software and we are free to switch back and forth.

(Compare this to Maxon (C4D), Abvent (Artlantis), Adobe (the whole suite), Macromedia (suite), Office, etc... where you have to pay a separate license fee for the 'other' platform. I'd love to have everything on my Mac that I have on my PC ... but am not about to spend that kind of money...)

Yes, as is the installation CD.
