Trying to work like a pro on Daz Studio - Question about Legal Issues

Hello guys,

Now I bring another big question: how to work on DS legally and with high productivity?

Explaining: I`d like to buy another computer, faster and etc, to build and render important projects, and keep the older one just for rendering projects that has more time. I know I can`t duplicate the content except for backup, but I can install DS in 2 different computers if it is just me working on them, like DS support said.

Tell me, can I build the project in one computer, export a colada file and render in another computer? Is it ok?

What if I get someone else to work with me, what must I do in order make everything legal?

Of course the second question is just if the business become bigger. Daz Studio has a huge potential.

Thanks in advance.

    You are allowed to install the software and your content on any computer you own as long as its all under one roof.

    So if you have two computers and you want it on both, you are allowed.

    Since the software is free, I don't think that's an issue. Not sure about having multiple people working on the same thing though. That's an interesting thing to think about. To me, it makes sense that one person owning the content and having both of you working on it makes sense. Like Mattymanx said (extrapolating a little), there is an extent to it however. If they are the content owner's computers and the other person only uses it in collaboration with the owner, I'd think it's fine. It's like having a friend over to watch a movie versus the friend copying your movie.

    I don't know the real laws though, this is 100% speculation.

    The easiest way to solve the problem is to install all the content on a shared or network drive that will be accessible by both computers...

    My strategy when the legal lines become fuzzy is to only use freebies. Then it doesnt matter who's using it! :D

    Eek! I may be in violation. I only have this netbook that I often carry with me.
