My license keeps locking even though I don't tell it to 11/08/2020 at 11:18 #130551

I purchased Manchester East, and all was going fine then I tried running it through my account on another machine to find it was locked (Requested unlock, thought "maybe I've accidentally clicked the lock option while booting one time" it unlocked last night and all was fine again) I've tried to do exactly the same thing not even 12 hrs later to find the license has been locked again.

My setup (which is a bit of a bodge-job) requires that two separate machines be able to run the sim from my account simultaneously.

Could someone shed some light as to what I'm doing/not doing? And why my license keeps locking on the fly?
Manchester East is the only sim of mine that does it (so far)

Thanks, Rob

You can't run the simulation on two separate machines simultaneously, unless you have two licences. The License is locked to one machine for the duration of the session, and automatically released when you close the simulation.

I believe work is underway on allowing multiple machines to share a license as long as they're on the same network, but this isn't possible yet.
