Not every software liscense allows you to install on a desktop and a
laptop.

In this casse it doesn't matter. The situation is one user on
one computer, a second user on a second computer.

Sounds like the laptop exclusion would not apply here.
Bear in mind with the laptop exclusion it allows one
user to use the software on his desktop and his laptop.

Yes they do. You have to register the softwarey to use it.

All of my QB licenses, both Pro & Premier, allow it.

Right. I was just pointing out that QB licenses *do* allow for multiple
installations.

Yes, that's what I typed out.

QB or Intuit cannot tell if you are really the same John Doe that registered
the license on another computer.

But it is one user on his/her own desktop/laptop. You can't install
it on your desktop and the desktop of your 40 closest friends.

But they know that your copy of quickbooks (the serial number) has
already been registered.

They let you register tha serial number once on a desktop. You may
even run into trouble if you have to replace your
hard drive.

I never said anything to the contrary. You stated that QB could only be
installed on one machine. I followed up with the appropriate phrase from
the license which shows it to be untrue. The user part is irrelevant as I
wasn't arguing it.

Yes but here again you're addressing something different from what I'm
stating.

> They let you register tha serial number once on a desktop. You may

I never have and have registered my quickbooks versions on 3 or more
computers at a time before.

I really don't get why you're arguing with me. I'm not saying anything that
isn't tried and true.

I do not find software piracy silly. What is silly is all this negative talk
about making copies of movies and music. All I want to do is look at and or
listen to it.

Don't copy that floppy.
