I'm doing some mocap work and have found that I can't use the room where my main PC is located because of magnetic interference. I'm therefore using a laptop so I can record in a better location.

I went to install iClone on the laptop but the My Accounts page mentions the following:
"You can uninstall program from unused computers to retrieve license seat space. Or use deactivate button to do so.
Note: One license seat can only be deactivated 5 times. This should be only used when you are not able to uninstall the program."
and also
"You have 10 times left for the deactivation"
I'm confused... can anyone tell me how best to handle this situation? 

Am I supposed to uninstall on the PC first, and then install on the laptop. Then when I'm done with the mocap session and want to work on my main PC, I uninstall on the laptop and reinstall on the PC?
- does this process count as a 'deactivation'? i.e. I'll only be able to do this 10 times?
- will uninstalling keep my custom content intact?

Is there really no way to just deactivate on one machine to make the switch back and forth easier?
(The mocap software from Rokoko does this, why not iClone, and for that matter CC3?) :unsure:

You can install the software of 2 machines, in your case a PC and a Laptop, but you can only use it on one of them at any single time. You can also have all of your purchased and custom content on both machines for use.

Just make sure that you are connected to the internet during the install on the second machine, and that the other copy of the software is not in use.

Thanks @wires I'll give it a go.
Any idea what all that stuff on the Accounts page means?

Just to confirm that you can install on one additional machine as Gerry rightly pointed out.
I got confused by the My Accounts page but when I installed on my laptop, as was suggested, I did see the EULA stating that I could install it on one additional "battery powered PC".
