+--- Thread: Running Macenc under multiple accts (/thread-745.html)
- fish2live - May 15, 2009
I'm updating and backing up everything before heading out for the summer. I made a duplicate account from my laptop to my girlfriend's macbook last year and critical files are going into a shared folder on that machine. MacENC now looks identical to my primary computer when I'm logged into her machine, including annotation and waypoints.
The problem: the girlfriend doesn't mind using her computer for navigation if mine goes bad, but she is miffed that we must run MacENC under my account.
I went to the file list under MacENC help and transferred all of the listed files (except that permits, polars and transponder files don't exist on mine) from my machine to each account on the other machine. Thus the identical copy of MacENC under my account, yet under her account the app still asks for an activation code.
I asked the same question last year but never got around to working on the problem. I thought that the answer was to put duplicates of working files into both accounts, but I'm clearly missing something, including a copy of the answer from last year. I would not be miffed if we could only run MacENC under her account on that computer but I don't know how to do that either. What is the magic trick?

MacENC can be installed on as many of the purchasers Macs, but yes a new activation code is needed for each Mac/User. Activation codes can be obtained by emailing macenc at mac dot com.
