MorphOS license from old to newer system?

So, curious how MorphOS license works in that today, if I have MorphOS on one system, decide to upgrade to a better system, can I move the license to the new system and kill it from the old?

Hmmm.  Sounds like an odd policy.  People update computers all the time.  My plan was to try it out on Mac Mini 1.25GHz until I can score an 1.5GHz model but sounds like that will not work. Even had thoughts of finding a Pegasos II. Bummer!  Sounds like a $111 gamble to me that I will have to think about now.  Wonder what proof they need that a computer died and you now have a replacement?

Maybe they should offer a multi-computer license option so you can get #2 and #3 cheaper being a loyal customer.  tj

I wouldn't use that axe, have mercy on Mac/Peg and sell it to the next user with the license fee added and you get next license covered!



There's similar things elsewhere too. You can't use OEM Windows on other computers and transferring is limited too. I wouldn't like some kind of network identification they use.. what would happen when there isn't services available anymore etc. It is better to tie hardware itself, so you can reinstall the system as many times you want etc. For this small market it is understable that keyfiles are controlled to prevent illegal copying... of course it makes things bit harder for multiple computer users, but free copying would hurt the sales too much.
