Topic: A question for DaVinci and Simplfy3D users.

I was looking on their website and thinking of jumping in as well. My question is they sell it for $140 per license.  By license do they mean per PC or per printer? I run my Da Vinci and Delta from the same laptop and would like to be able to buy one copy of S3D but run both ptinters on that copy. At separate times of course.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!

You can install your licensed copy on multiple computers.  I have mine installed on 2 computers, each controlling 2 printers.

Here's the answer from the License Agreement for mine (see the Red):

"Software" means all computer programs and documentation related to the Simplify3D Software by Simplify3D, which focuses on creating a complete integrated 3D printing toolchain from a single unified application.

"Term" shall be perpetual unless terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or by mutual consent of the parties. 

"User Seats" equals two (2).

3. LICENSE GRANT

Simplify3D hereby grants to You a non-exclusive, non-transferable limited license to install and utilize the Software on a concurrent user basis for the Term.  You may install the software on multiple computers that You own equal to the number of User Seats purchased by You.

So in a nut shell you may only install on two computers but xould run any number of machines on those two computers. So one copy would be fine for my use.

Re: A question for DaVinci and Simplfy3D users.

I don't know what you are allowed to do, but you can open multiple instances on a single PC.  You have a window of processes and that selects which post config to use.  Its slick, when set up correctly you don't need to know what machine it is.  I tried it on the ramps board tonight and it worked almost the same as the da vinci, except for drip feeding the NC rather than dumping the whole program and letting it run off line.

I want to say you can but not 100% sure. On S3D there is a list to choose which printer you have to configure the setting. So you should be able to switch between printers.

When I wrote this reply I didn't see any other reply on this thread. (Lagging) so I gave the best answer I had and yes you were clear.
