hey, can I install on my desktop and my laptop, or do I need multiiseat licensing? (obviously assuming that only one would be used at a time)

Hi, one license is per machine.
If you have 2 machines, you'd need 2 licenses.
you can get 2 licenses for 198 euro, that's not going to ruin your budget i suppose...

grab them while you can as when we go final you'll pay 2x as much...

afaik, maybe we'll add a dual-license pack to our products you can purchase to make this easy, with a slight discount or so.

Well, I'm a poor schmuck who only wanted it for convenience sake, I'll just have to do all my work in one location. Hoped it would be allowed on 2 machines like adobe does, as long as it wasn't being used on both machines.

I think it would be good though, if you were to make a transferable license for an extra 20 or 30 bux, because that would allow the convenience, but you wouldn't have to allow ppl to install it on multiple machines w/o getting any extra $.

we don't have the required infrastructure yet to transfer licenses between the machines.
big companies like autodesk have multiple people that develop those systems, we don't, although not yet ;)

So you'll just have to do it with 2 licenses, i'm sorry.
99 euros for a product like octane is not that much imo.

Agree completely, 99Euro ( $130 US ) is not much at all. I just didn't *need* it is all I was saying.

So while I would consider paying an extra 20-30 for convenience, I'm not so flush with cash that I can spend another 99 for convenience.

Thanks again for a great product!
