4 Installation on Another Location
Another location = a different computer or a different location on the same computer.
To prevent unauthorized distribution, the course can only be played from one location at a time. Would you like the course to play on another location, it must first be deactivated.
Be sure there is an Internet connection. Go to the Help menu in the course and select Reinstall Course Elsewhere: Deactivate.
Now the serial/registration number is freed and can be reused for installation on a different location.
Note: if the course has been installed on the hard drive there is no need to remove it. Later on it might be reactivated at the same location without copying the content again.
