Not hitting right search: One Reader / Two Computers

tcv · 06-23-2009, 03:50 PM

Hi,

Probably an FAQ, but I can't find it.

Someone asked me if a single reader can be installed to two computers, each with the Connect software, both tied to the same account.

The man is going to Mexico and wants to install Connect on his Desktop here (Houston) and his laptop that he brings with him to Mexico. Wants to be sure that when he's in Mex, he'll be able to buy new books. :-)

Yes, and no. The three devices, 1 Reader and 2 PC's can be registered to the same account. The three devices will read files d/l'ed from that same account.

(I say no because you don't really "install" a reader to a computer.)

Ah, but you do connect the Reader to a computer via USB right? I suppose that's what I mean by "install."

So the Connect software will need to be installed on both systems and setup for the same Sony Connect account.

Thanks!!!
