No difference, but Grand Artist presets work only on MacOS (and my 3 slots are on Windows PC’s.)

As I understand it, if you create a new activation it will just knock out the oldest of your existing slots, but you can reactivate it later if you need to. I think that's how it works, but if you have any concerns it's best to contact Modartt support for clarification.
Unfortunately not, I have tried activate PT on 4th device and given info:
"You are currently using 3 of 3 activation slots.
You must free an activation slot before activating this computer.
You can do it in user area on our website.":-(
Have you asked support about it? If so, what did they say?

]]>I totally get your frustration with the activation slot limitations. It can be a bummer when you need to switch machines temporarily, but then you're stuck with that hardware forever. It does seem a bit ridiculous.
It's not. It's made to avoid abuse (not saying what kind here to not give people ideas...)
If it's an one-off thing, contacting support has always accommodated everything reasonable that has been asked.
Plus, the typical use case should work as dazric explained (but again I have not needed and did not try)
]]>I get it, I can only use it on 3 machines at any given time. That's fine with me, but why can't I move one machine to different hardware, and then eventually back to the same? That seems ridiculous. Or am I missing something? When I bought the license a year ago I was under the assumption that I can manage the 3 slots as I please...
