Trial version license

Hello guys,

I recently requested for a trial version license and was assigned one for a mac. But I had a custom computer built for gaming purposes but also to accommodate the heavy rendering from Twinmotion plus for AR/VR reasons. Do I need to get a different trial license to run the software on my PC?

The software itself you will need a new version if you are changing from Mac to Windows PC.
I am not sure if the license is locked to a particular machine or platform.
As far as I know it is just a number that you must input when you start the software.
If that is the case then it should work on both.
I could be wrong though.
Best option is just to try it yourself.
If you need to download a new license you will soon find out.
As I say though, you will definitely need the Windows version of the software.

Hey Barry,

I actually just realised that the trial license can only be used once regardless of the platform. I plan on using it on my Windows PC, so i guess I'll purchase one for Windows next month when the trial period has expired. I appreciate the advice, thank you.
