How can I manage to have both a Basic version and a 4K version on the same computer? How do I differentiate between them when starting one up?

Thanks

If you really need two vMix on the same hardware you can virtualize. But you need to understand virtualization to get it properly done.

I can't speak for them, but, in my case, I use my 4K license on my laptop for personal stuff and testing when I'm not using it for production on my production machine. I own it, I might as well use it.

They allow a license to be activated on 2 computers (as long as you only use one at a time) and I take full advantage of that.

I also use a Basic license on my laptop for streaming the NDI/OMT content off the production machine during production (though it's too limiting for my day-to-day personal use, and for testing things before they go to the production machine).

I'm probably not the only one with a similar setup.

It'd be nice if there was an easier way to switch between the 2 licenses--especially when the licenses are tied to separate versions--but there isn't any that I can find & a conversation with support didn't yield any suggestions.
