Elite on second computer for free for same player?

[Go'Gen]

I have ED+Horizons on desktop PC.

Question:
Can I also install ED+Horizons for free on my laptop to use it while I'm away, on a trip?
With same in-game account, of course.

Thanks, o7

Yes but you will need to re-authenticate when you change machines. That is for ED bought direct. I don't know about steam.

I run it on both my PC and laptop and it works just fine. No need to reauthenticate (I don't; never have). It just works - BUT - that's direct launcher access, no Steam or Oculus or anything else, just the native launcher.

Things must have changed since I last used my laptop.

I can confirm that steam client can be run on two PCs - just not at once, Steam itself won't let You do it

yes - both frontierstore and steam versions (you only have to do the authorisation once per machine, as long as you don't select "log out machine" on the launcher menu).

Perhaps; been running them for about 3 years like that. As others have said; if you log out, it'll obvious ask, and you can't run both together - but I run two launchers for two accounts on both machines and they have never expired or anything.

I have 2 accounts working across 4 different PC's no worries.

It has been longer than that since I used my laptop. I always had to update the launcher when I did. That might have caused the request to authenticate.

That would be it, for sure.

With Steam you can have it on as many computers as you like, but you can only be playing it on one computer at a time.
