Using Lightroom on multiple computers

[rado1311]

Hi.

I'd like to buy Lightroom license for my household and am wondering if it's possible to use it on multiple computers and how. I've searched the internet and found some answers but I don't quite understand how does it even work. I've got two MacBook Pro laptops and Dell running on Windows and I'd like to have the software on all of them.

Thank you for your time.

It's Lightroom 6 and it's an online version.

You can use a single license of Lightroom on two computers with the same type of operation system.

Here are some thoughts of using LR on multiple computers:

You can use LR on 2 computers with One License whether that be a Perpetual, Stand Alone, license or the Subscription base CC version.

It can be used on both Windows and Mac at the same time. One computer being Windows and the other being a Mac. It doesn't matter what OS you are running on the 2 separate computers.

Where the limit comes in is both computer shouldn't be, can't be by the terms of the license, used at the same time and the same person should be the primary user of both computers.

OK. Thanks for clarification. I don't know this point.

You can install the software on all three machines but only two can be activated (signed-in) at any one time.

Your original post does not say anything about how you will be using Lightroom.

LR is designed as a single-computer, single-user system. If you want to share files and editing between multiple computers, there are hoops you need to jump through to trick LR into getting this to work.
