Steam version - 1 computer only?!

[The 11th plague]

Hello, I bought RPG Maker with the latest humble weekly bundle.
Now I was installing it, and having a quick look at the license I see this
 

B. License ENTERBRAIN grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, non-assignable license to use the Software on only one (1) computer by installing the Software, and Licensee cannot use the Software concurrently by and on multiple computers.

So, it's on Steam, but I can't install it on more than 1 computer?!
Seriously, is it like it seems?

yep, you read it in the EULA, it's true. However you can always put in requests with your bill of sale to transfer it to a new computer. at the cost of the old one being deactivated.

Then what's the point of the Steam integration?

This is not nice, not nice at all.

I use Steam to bring my software with me like my email...

Guess I'll have to buy some extra keys.

What happens if I get extra keys for more PCs, can i still use my DLCs or do I have to buy them again?

This is quite crazy, actually.

It says concurrently; you can install it on multiple PC's, but not have them running at the same time.

It also says "concurrently", with an "and".

It may be that it's just oddly worded.

I mean, any of you guys here has the Steam version on multiple PCs?

Do you really expect a more honest answer than "I plead the fifth" until the specific legal query is clarified?

the point of steam is steam is easier implementation of DLC and access to steam works.

@RyokuHasu I don't think that's the entire point of Steam. It'd be nice if it had cloud integration as well, and I certainly don't see why it's unfair to ask.

It's fine to have Ace on multiple computers. As long as you're the only user using it on the one license...

Shush, let me live in my fantasy world where things are unfair, and one sided. lol

Not sure if OP has gotten their answer yet, so I'll just say this:

I installed Ace on my desktop and laptop and while I obviously can't run them at the same time, they both work fine. So the Steam version can be installed on multiple computers and work fine on all of them.

Nathaniel has given the official answer a couple of posts above yours.  He said

So, no problem.

... yes, No problems As long as no one is using the program other than yourself.

I sent up a request clarifying this ages ago - yes, the license is worded so it's both a per-seat and per-user license (worst of both worlds), but EB has come down saying they aren't going to lose sleep over anyone having it installed on their desktop and laptop so long as only one person is using them both.

I only have that as relayed by staff, not an officially notarized paper copy, but it's here on the forums somewhere.

Ok, thanks everybody.

@Mouser

Do you have a link to the relevant topic?

 

[Celianna]

Nathanial has officially stated in this thread that it is okay to install on multiple PCs, as long as you are the sole person using it.


Case closed.
