Now my thought would be if you are doing two shows with just two computers and no back-up you are living rather dangerously.
Ok! So just to be clear let's ask them if you can use both of those computers at the same time for a show using Hoster. This is my point. I don't think this is allowed by the license. You can call the second computer anything you like but the licence does not allow you to use both computers at the same time for a show. If this is not so, I'd like to know. Maybe I'll buy more music and run two setups with one license.

I believe you know what I was getting at and you can split hairs over what you call the second computer if you want. I just did not want him to think it was alright to run two show computers with one license at the same time. this is what it sounded like to me in his post as he NEEDED, NOT WANTED to run a second computer without stating the purpose. I don't use my second computer for a backup although I could if I wanted. It has too many programs on it and too much clutter. I have my show system backed up on a cloned drive and there is nothing else on it except for what has to be there. If something happens to the system drive with Hoster on it, I just reboot and start up on the extra drive. My music songs and Hoster songs are on separate drives and are cloned to extra drives the same way. If someone would buy a quad license, I believe that would allow them to run two show computers at the same time with the program on two other computers for backup or test or just to sit there.
