Q: Each vMix license allows for 2 copies of vMix. I have one copy of vMix in my desktop for studio use. The 2nd is in my laptop for shows away from the studio.
To use NDI I will need to buy a 2nd license which will probably be a vMix downgrade of the vMix license I have now.
Question is, when I get ready to use my laptop away from the studio, can I reinstall the 2nd copy of my original vMix license back into my laptop?

Why not use the standalone software for NDI when it comes out? If it's a capture card from one system you're looking to use on another.

License question is very good. I have also some things that are not clear. I have license for HD vMix, one licence is on one PC and another on second. I red that it can't be in use in sam time. Why is that? If I have 2 different events in a similar start time I can't use vMix on both events because of this rule. That's not ok if you are asking me because I don't wanna buy 3-4 licences for 3-4 PC's. I can understand for 4 PC's that I need to buy 2 licenses, but this rule about using the PC's in a same time I can't understand.
best regards
marko

If you have two licenses (keys) you can use both at the same time. But if you have one licence installed on two computers - you can't use them at the same time. It is quite simple. Is there anything else you can't understand?

marko The reason why you can use the same license on two PC's is purely for backup. So if you do an event and PC #1 crashes and dies you can change over to PC #2. GeorgeR wrote:

Yeah, I read about a NewTek app than can convert almost any capture card into a NDI source for free.

Hey Guys...quick question. Should you be able to switch between the HD Basic version and the SD version, seamlessly? I'm having some problems "downgrading" my laptop to the Basic HD Basic version, as I have a need for single camera use at HD. We don't have the funds for the full HD upgrade at this time, but did want to ensure that what I'm asking is even capable, prior to escalating too much. Thoughts anyone?
FYI...I get an "invalid key" error... and I have both emails from the purchases too...

My experience has been that one version must be off of the computer, before vMix can allow the other edition to be used.
I know that's not what you wanted to here, but that was my experience.
