    I have RF2 working on an installed windows7 / 64 pc. Now I have installed win 10/64 on a separate disk, so I can boot from one or another.
    I would like to test it on my new Operating system, just to give it a try, but may I play RF2 on both systems in some way (how) or it's not possible ???



    thank you ALL
    Maxx

    You just need to activate it on both partitions I think :)

    Not 2 PC, the same pc with two disks/partitions, so I can't use two rfactor2 simultaneously of course, One License, One Player, no ?
    I understand that on two pc the thing isn't possible, with one license only !!! But with a system where I can work only on W7 or on W10 ???

    thanks Nuno, but there's the problem of re activations i think every time i'll change system....

    thx

    lol I explained it that is ISI quotes not me......

    YES you MUST reactivate everytime you change hardrives or PCs.
    Whether you use 2 PCs or 2 hardrives is IRRELEVANT

    ISI works on hardware ID

    You can have a shared location for your data (I've actually used dropbox and had data on there before, sharing data across entirely different machines), but install the core into program files on each install and they can run independently, it'll also install all the runtimes.

    So I need to install again RF2 (lite) on a new location on disk, then specify the data folder (packages?!) of the 'old' install right ???

    ps: ok, it works. I have specified new location for both core and data , then added packages old location to newer and than installed cars and tracks. The INSTALLED folder of course is not the same for the two games, is that correct ???
