Subject: Re: [Astro_IIDC] License question


The Unibrain Fire-I just arrived.  I am still unsure as to what licensing option I should choose for my situation.  Tonight I am planning on going out and observing even with the full moon, just to try it out.... Willie

I have a 900 MHz G3 iBook with 640MB ram which I use with my

telescope.  I routinely use and have registered Equinox &

Astroplanner.  I want to be able to capture video on an external hard

drive and then process it on my wife's G5 iMac.  Does that require 2

licenses for Astro IIDC?  I wont be using a camera with the iMac.  It

is highly unlikely that I will ever have the iMac in the field with

the telescope.


This may be an obvious question if I had actually used the software,

but I have only read all the messages.


I am brand new to astrophotography.  I have taken some pictures with

my Canon Digital Rebel but they arent very good.


Another question concerning the license for one machine.  I have

already had my iBook in the shop for a keyboard problem.  It came

back with a new logic board and therefore to all my software was a

new machine.  What happens in a case like that with the Astro IIDC

license?  Or if I sell this machine and get a faster laptop?  What

then?
