I think the trial version will only work for ten days.

The serial number is platform specific. So if you have purchased the Mac version of the program than a 2nd copy can only be installed on another Mac computer. And also the same for Windows- it can only be opened on 2 Windows machines. The only exception is possibly that you could buy the Windows version and run it on a Mac using a Windows emulator.

If you have purchased it for Windows and are currently running it in Windows the only way to now run it on a Mac is to buy another copy, a Mac version this time, and install that on the Mac. (or try the Windows emulator, but I don't know if that works with SCAL- some have gotten it to work with Cricut Design Studio.)

As far as using the Trial mode with the Mac and then cutting with a PC, in theory you can do that... but the Trial versions are only functional for 10 (?) days, so if you are going to do that you will need to hurry.

That clears up a lot, thank you

Just so I'm clear on this: If my computer crashes and I lose all my programs and I have only installed SCAL one time all I would have to do on a new computer is download SCAL from Craft Edge and enter my activation code and I would get the program back?

I'm asking because I'm having computer problems and considering buying a new one so I was wondering how I would get SCAL from the old one to a new one.

Thanks, (another) Kim

Yes, that will work. You could also e-mail Todd and explain to him what happend and he would probably reset your code so that you could still have SCAL on two computers.

Thank you, I will probably just ditch the old computer if I decide to get a new one (which hopfully will be before the old one crashes)
Thanks Again, Kim
