I am experimenting with moving over to Linux and pianoteq is very important so I tried it out and activated it running Linux directly from the CD rather than installing it. Is it now safe for me to de-activate it or will I suddenly find my computer unable to run it anymore regardless of partition/OS boot method?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Tom,
Check in your user area if it has consumed a new activation slot, or if it has just reused the windows slot (which is the most likely scenario since this is the same computer, and the activation is tied to the computer hardware, not the operating system). In that case, do not deactivate, or you will also disable the windows version and you will have to contact us in order to fix it.
Hi,
Thanks a lot for the reply, it has according to my list used up an activation slot. So I am a bit nervous to de-activate it in-case it mucks up any activations I have in other OS systems on the same computer. I need to try and remove it somehow though I suspect. Any idea what I should do? Sorry about this, should have just installed the trial version when testing!
Thank you,
Tom
Hi,
I have since installed Linux on my hard-drive properly and that seems to have carried the same activation rather than using up another so I believe I can just leave things as they are. Not sure how it has worked that one out, pretty clever!
Thanks for your time with the matter.
Tom
