Subject: License question

I should receive my Unibrain camera today and will be licensing Astro IIDC.  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?

I can hardly wait to give the new cam and software a try.  Thanks,
