UPDATE FROM MABULA
I have had a very rough 2 months unfortunately health wise. I was struck 3x in a row with bacterial infections. The second infection occurred after a routine hospital checkup and I became very sick. I had to rest and take a lot of antibiotics. Once I was recovering and restarting work 1 month ago, I again became sick. The infection was not yet gone, so even more antibiotics and rest was needed. Needless to say, it took a lot of my energy and I needed a lot of rest.
Finally, the infection is really gone and my energy is coming back step-by-step now and I have started work again. I am terribly sorry to have kept you waiting for support. I will address all outstanding questions and e-mails step-by step and will be on the forum daily from today.
APP 2.0.0-beta47 will come soon as well, a lot of work was already completed before I became very ill, so the release is also nearly ready for you. Beta47 will be much faster actually. Many workflows will be more than 2x faster, mosaics can even be 10x faster than before because registration really received a major boost... all compared to beta46. Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
Hi,
If I purchase an owners licence, can I install APP on several computers I own?
For example, as I live in a light polluted place, I often take a scope and laptop for a couple of days to a dark sky sight where I would want to do some processing during the day. At home I use a desktop with a big 27" screen. Am I free to install and activate on both computers? Is there any restriction on this? - I use Sequence Generator Pro for example and I am allowed to install it on 3 computers.
cheers
Gary
Hi Gary,
Yes you can 😉
You can install APP on 3 separate computers. You can try it with the TRIAL license, it works on 3 computers as well.
With the new security system introduced in version 1.047, APP can be started and used offline as well, so without an active connection to the internet 😉
You need to activate the license on a computer online, so that the license file can be created on your computer. Then after activation, you can simply start and work with APP without an internet connection during your travels.
Let me know if you have more questions,
Cheers
Mabula
p.s. I made this a sticky 😉
Can a license be removed from a computer so APP can be activated on another computer?
Example. If I have a laptop, a desktop and a virtual machine each with a license (as 3 are allowed).
If I buy a new laptop and stop using old one for APP, can I deactivate license on old laptop so I can use APP on new laptop?
I guess if my equipment was stolen/lost/destroyed I will need to purchase a new license as I would be unable to deactivate old licenses?
Thanks.
Hi @nharvie,
Thank you for your question and welcome to the APP forum 😉
Yes it surely can. You will have to contact me to do this currently. It's no problem 😉 The license is for 3 computers, not for the 3 first activated computers.
In a future APP version, you will be able to control the activated computers yourself using the CFG (configuration) menu. Then contact with me won't be needed and it will work immediately.
Let me know if this answers your concern 😉

Hi,
I'm working together with another astro friend and I have bought the APP application.
I'm allowed to install APP on 3 computers, but when I'm installing APP on his computer is he allowed to work with APP or does he have to buy his own licences ?
Kind Regards,
Theo
The licenses are individual indeed, individuals can use 3 computers (like on a processing PC and a laptop in the field, those kind of cases). Different individuals would need their own license.
Hello, I'm looking to re-install APP on my new desktop. My old system crashed badly. Where can I find my license code?
@csfapp101, as I did order or buy the APP, the license code was sent to my @mail-address, hence, your license code should also be there, deep in your mailbox, unless you did delete that email 😋 , then in that case, you should ask @mabula-admin to send your license code again to the @mail-address.
Good luck & CS

Hi @csfapp101,
I have sent your license to your registered email address, Please let me know if all is okay now.

Thanks you. We're up and running.
