I am installed Pro E on my laptop and get a license error saying my host id of this computer dosn't match the host id of the license file. I assume this is saying that the license file matches my desktop computer and sees that I am trying to run it on a different machine now.

I saw online that it may be possible to have it set up somehow to run it on two computers by getting the license remotely. I am not trying to use it on two computers at the same time and don't see where it would be illegal to have it installed on my two computers since only one could work at any given time. If anyone knows a way to set this up I would appeciate the help.

you need to open the license file and find the MAC ID..change that to match an active network adapter that's in your laptop

yeah, its been a while since i messed with this, but i remember when i figured it out, it was surprisingly easy to transfer the license.

yep..i was expecting an in depth crack style method to change it..then it was just changing a MAC address lol
