I am sure that this has been answered previously, but . . . .

I am running OS X 10.6.3 and Win 7 Pro on a Hackintosh with a GTX 260. The Octane license is for one machine, but is OS dependent. Is it possible to get a single license that will work on both OS's, or do I have to buy 2 licenses for the one machine. Because both OS's are on the same machine, I can only use one at a time so one license for the two OS's would make sense. My primary OS is 10.6.3, but I have the same CAD program (Shark FX) on both. Shark, like a lot of software allows users to install and register on multiple OS's and machines, but asks that users only use one version at a time. This allows me to have a copy on a MacBook (used for presentations) and two copies on my Hackintosh, it would be great if Octane / Refractive allowed this.

Thanks for your help on this.

The Octane license is for one machine, but is NOT OS dependent.
Some here run linux and windows on one machine, so this is not a problem.
If you run two machines, like laptop and desktop, you need two licenses.
