Are DP licenses cross platform

Post by Kasaudio »

Greetings folks.
Simple question. I apologize if this has already been answered before.

If I own a Mac license, and you are allowed to run 2 copies of DP, am I able to run the 2nd copy on a windows machine or do I have to purchase a windows copy? I'm certainly not against it. Just wanted to know if I can use my 2nd license on a windows version instead of a Mac version.

I am thinking of using some other machines as processing farms, something like using a UAD processor to spread the heavy number crunching of plug ins, across the cpu's of other computers. I was thinking of using 1-2 of my pc laptops, connect them via a Dante virtual sound card, and send audio back & forth like external device like you would for an analog console using a verb, delay, etc.

Thanks,
Steve
