Mlepine, the answer to those questions belong to MTU. I am just another customer and as such, cannot answer questions regarding their policies.

However, as far as I know, as it stands today, you cannot install Hoster on more than one computer at a time. Hoster’s security is tied in to your Ethernet MACID number which is unique. When you buy Hoster, you need to send MTU your MACID number and they in turn will give you a registration number for that card. Any computer that does not have that same card, will no run Hoster, if you try, you will receive a “system error #1.”

There is good news though, if you want to use Hoster on your laptop and desktop (one at a time) then you must buy an USB Ethernet Card AND use the MACID number belonging to the USB card to register Hoster.

If you do this, then you can run Hoster in as many computers as you like (one at a time) by simply moving that USB card to whichever computer you want to use.

I understand that MTU is working on another security scheme that will not require a MACID number, but to the best of my knowledge, this feature is not currently available.

Good luck,

Jon
