Help regarding installing MMF 2 on another computer

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • So then, I bought MMF quite a few years ago, but only recently upgraded it to Developer version. I also recently bought a new mini-laptop for the purpose of being able to dev and plan things while not home. However, there are two problems with this. The more important is that due to being a mini-laptop, it doesn't have a CD drive; thus I can't just install the program and then install all later updates. Another is that I'm not sure if there are legal problems with trying to install the later-bought Developer version (as well as the SWF-porting addon). So, my two questions are:

    1) Is there some way to install a bought copy of MMF 2 without a CD? Obviously just copying the files from the CD and sending them to the other laptop is illegal, so I'm wondering if I should just buy an external CD/DVD drive and go with that.
    2) Is it ok if I just send all later-bought and -received patch/addon installers to this new laptop? I technically have them all on my computer, but I'm not sure if there're some problems, legal or otherwise, with this approach.

    I suppose my questions are such that they require input from Clickteam employees.

  • Hempuli, sending the files across your own network to your own laptop is not illegal at all. The illegal bit is outside distribution for access to other computers or users. I think you've been reading into it a little bit too much.

    Create an image of the disc on your computer, send the image across to laptop via network then run the image using an ISO program. Alternatively if you email CT support through the main website they may send you a downloadable version. CT will monitor the amount of times the serial is used but if you only have it on a computer and then a laptop for development that's fine. I think you're allowed up to around 4-5 installs before CT put a block on. This is for people who have formatted computers, lost HDD's etc. I myself am up to about 4 uses. I have MMF2 installed on my computer and netbook, plus I have formatted twice in the last 12 months.
