2 copies of software needed?

[directory]

i have 2 identical treo 650 phones. one for the wife, one for me.

a few applications that i want to download will need to be installed on both phones (zlauncher, volumecare, verichat, snappermail).

now comes the question: do i need to buy two installs of the same application? or can i download it once and put it on both phones.

or would you know if any of the software makers have a discount for multiple purchases?

Two installs would constitute two different uses, two purchases. I believe they may also be activated based on the device ID.

Pay the developers for their efforts.....

You should check their sites or email them for information.

Bunches have volume discounts, but normally 2 is not in that category. Support the developers, the best thing we can do.

let me say, paying for it is not an issue.

i just wasn't sure how it worked. my post wasn't meant to come across that i was planning to pirate the software.

i just wasn't sure, since i will be syncing up both phones to one computer if it will automatically put the same program on both phones.

Not automatically if you have it set up with 2 different user names. I believe the Palm Desktop will not sync 2 devices using the same user name, though you can install applications to 2 different devices with the same user name.

It has been a while.......

plus, even if you set up the Palm Desktop on two different computers, each using the same username and sharing the same apps, some programs use a device ID to make sure you do not share the apps; it will know they are different devices and deactivate one of them, until you buy a second license.

don't worry, I don't think anyone thought you were trying to pilfer software, you are new and were just asking.
