# General information

### How many machines can I activate at the same time?

Each Nobe OmniScope license may be used in one of two ways: as a per-user license or as a per-room license.

#### Per-User License (Two-System User License)

* Intended for the exclusive use of a single person.
* May be installed and activated on up to two personal systems (e.g., desktop and laptop, or Windows and macOS).
* Cannot be used simultaneously on both systems.
* May not be shared between multiple users.

{% hint style="info" %}
Nobe OmniScope Pro originally shipped with 3 seats, and later changed to 2 seats at the same price. Some legacy customers may still have a 3-seat license. If you only use 2 machines and would like your legacy 3-seat license reduced to 2 seats, please [contact support](https://timeinpixels.com/contact).
{% endhint %}

#### Per-Room License

* Intended for facilities and studios that wish to license OmniScope for a specific color suite, bay, or workstation.
* The license covers that suite/system, regardless of who operates it.
* Multiple rooms or suites each require their own license.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: A single license cannot be applied both per-user and per-room at the same time. For larger facilities or enterprise setups where multiple users or rooms require concurrent access, please contact us about multi-seat or floating license options.
{% endhint %}

### How to request a license activation reset

When you need to reset your activations you can request a license reset using the [my license page](https://timeinpixels.com/my-license/).

The app and the website now show each activation using a friendly **Machine Name** so it is easier to identify the correct workstation before removing or reviewing an activation. You can rename the machine from OmniScope or from the website, and the new name will sync both ways.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Hardware ID is still the real activation identity. Machine Name is only a display label and is kept separate for support and offline activation workflows.
