Topic: Questions about activation after upgrade

Hi all! I'm not sure this is the correct place to ask, but I'd rather not make mistakes when activating my software, so I hope y'all can help me

I use Pianoteq 6 Stage on 2 separate computers, listed as Activation slots in the User area. Now, I just upgraded to 7 Standard and want to use that on those same 2 computers. I downloaded it, but when starting the program, it asks for activation.

Can I activate my computer for version 7, without consuming the last activation-slot? Because I want to do this on both computers

If this is not possible, then what is the way to start using Standard 7 on my 2 computers, intending to replace Stage 6 on both?

Also, will my DAW recognize that whenever I load a song/project that uses the Stage 6 VSTi, it should use the Standard 7 VSTi instead with the same instrument (preset/settings/parameters)? (If this is not possible, then I need to keep the Stage 6 active if I want to load those songs...)

Thanks in advance for any advice or help given!

You can activate copying and pasting the key. Versions 6 and 7 can live together on the same slot.

I forgot to come back to this, but I wanted to say that indeed, I activated the software on both computers, and the old one still works, so that means it does everything I wanted it to

So, thanks Marcos
