Getting WB5-Questions
Friday, February 3, 2006 by Redroar | Discussion: Community
Hey. I just got the free WB5 trial download, and am really enjoying it. However, before I purchase it I have a few questions:
1) I saw on the Stardock website how it says that it will be Vista compatible. I won't have to buy anything else for it to work on Vista, right? If I get WB5, the Vista version will be a free upgrade for me, correct?
2) I want to run this on my desktop and on my laptop...will one copy of WB5 will let me run it on both?
and 3) Could I just keep reinstalling the trial to keep it for as long as I like?
Answers would be appreciated.

Also, the trial version supports translucent window borders only on the skins that are supplied with it. To get this effect on other skins, you need to buy WB5...

Alright. How would I not use them at the same time? Sometimes I leave my desktop on and use my laptop.
So long as I can run it on both of my systems without buying two copies I'll get it.

What the basis for this is: don't install it on a home computer and have your spouse/kids/whatever using that computer whilst you have it installed on your laptop and the laptop is being used by someone. Just leaving the computer on and actively using WB on another machine is ok, though.

Does it check over the internet or something? I have dial-up, so I'm not connected on all my machines at once or anything.
So I can only have it installed on one machine? Or only be actively using it on one machine?
And there's no guarantee that if I'm online at my university that my room-mate won't use the computer. What would happen then?

Correct
As long as you don't use them at the sam time.
That's stealing and it sucks. You're better than that and it's worth the money.
