Being brand new to this Genealogy thing I have been trying 4 different software packages for the last couple of weeks and have decided on FH. So far I've gone back 5 generations, most are still a bit sketchy but I've caught the bug!!
Before I make a purchase I have a question - can I install FH on 2 machines with 1 licence (laptop & PC) or does that require 2 separate licences?
If 2 licences are required then I will have FH on the PC and will install TreeView on the laptop, bit of a pain but I'll live with it

Wianb,
The license allows it to be installed on 2 computers, but you can only use it on one of those computers at a time.

Have now bitten the bullet and purchased a licence. After quite a bit of research (and playing around) I think I've made the right decision with FH. Now need some time to sit down and learn all of the ins and outs of the software.

ALL of them before you start using it.
