Advanced Member Monkeybrain Posted November 8, 2013 Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Hello dear readers, I have an simple question, I have only one license and one workingplace but with 2 two ssd's one I use for Windows and one for Linux (The first SSD was for me to small) so I have now 2 and now my question, can I install 3d Coat on Linux too? So I dont need switch between systems so often with booting. Is this okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor BeatKitano Posted November 8, 2013 Contributor Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I don't know if licenses are locked to the os, I don't think so, if it's not locked you can do that. The current licensing system allows running 3dcoat on different computers only not at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor digman Posted November 8, 2013 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) You will need to buy a Linux version also , it is inexpensive to get the additional version with license for current users of Windows 3DCoat Pro. I have two versions, one for windows, the other for Linux... I paid about 40 dollars for the Linux version a few years ago, it might be more now...

Yes you're right I thinks its also around 40$ Edited November 8, 2013 by Monkeybrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus the extra little cost for 2 OS's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member jcue Posted November 6, 2015 Member Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Sorry for posting on an old thread, but I have a question regarding a Windows and a Linux license. If you own a Windows license and pay an additional $40 for a Linux license how will upgrading to Version 5 work? Will you be charged $99 (or however much an upgrade will be) for each license? Or will you have to upgrade 1 OS and pay $40 for an additional license. I'm most-likely making this more complex than it really is so any input would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member jcue Posted November 6, 2015 Member Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Thank you..Almost I already have a linux and a windows pro license. I'm wondering how upgrading to V5 (when it's out) will work. It would be hard to imagine upgrading each for $99 when upgrading and getting a new os license was only $40.

I'm not sure, so don't quote me on this, but I think the upgrade will just be the one license, for $99, as the $40 fee is just to help with the development costs of having someone port each build to MAC/Linux. Probably just a one time deal. Best way to be sure is to shoot an e-mail to sales@3d-coat.com for clarification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
