    Moving OnLocation to s Different Computer

      I recently purchased  the full CS5 production suite and loaded it on my desktop PC.  At the time, I wasn't fully aware of OnLocation so it too is on my desktop.  I would like to remove it from the desktop and reinstall it on a laptop so I can actually use it on location.  Is there a way to do this since I have only a one user license?  Assuming I can, do I simply put the DVD in the laptop and search for a way to load the single program?  If I ever want it back on the desktop, can I rverese the process?  Thanks.

          First of all, I don't use CS5 yet so my comments apply to CS4, but unless licensing changed drastically with the advent of CS5, it should apply in your situation.  Mark Mapes addressed my concern with this when CS4 was launched.  One, Adobe allows you to install the suite on up to two computers (such as office and home), as long as only one instance is in use at any one time.  However, understanding the nature and use of OnLocation, you are also allowed to install it on an additional laptop and that installation will not count against the two installation limit.

           

          Yes, put the DVD in the laptop and select only OnLocation for the install.
