We do this with laptops and desktops, as we often start editing while on the road/on location, then finish in the edit bay. Every so often (once or twice a year) the licenses will get confused and stop working. Most often, that is our fault -- forgetting to deactivate one machine before activating the other. An email to Avid gets it taken care of. Because we are in Japan with a serious time zone difference, it generally takes overnight. So works as advertised, with occassional inconveniences.
We also have systems with dongles, which are great, but I am always worried about losing them, etc. It was really hard to get them added to our insurance policy that covers our location gear!

AFAIK, thats the routine. Should work fine as no distinction is made between licenses whether on PC or Mac or laptops.

This is, I'm sure, a well-worn question but I'm doing a show out of the country and will be running MC on my Macbook Pro. It's a new laptop and I'm about to install MC on it. But I've had bad luck activating my current MC subscription on my *previous* Macbook Pro, and I'm trying to get ahead of any difficulties I may have on the new one.
So can anyone tell me if it should be as simple as Deactivating MC on my desktop system and then Activating on the laptop? Different computers, I know, but shouldn't it work once I've logged in on AppMan on the new laptop? Right? Tell me I don't have to buy a whole new subscription for my laptop.
Thanks,
