Hi, I will be buying my first Mac computers (iMac +MBA) later in the year and im planning to purchase either fusion or parallels as well to go with the Macs. One thing i am still confused and cant seem to find an answer for is, say if i purchase a single copy of fusion or parallels, will i be able to install it onto both the iMac and MBA without it asking me to buy an additional copy because im installing it on two Macs.
So how much machines am i allow to install the app on under one single license?

Any information is appreciated.:)

Cheers!
 
Does this help?

Can I use a single license on more than one computer / multiple concurrent machines?
You may install and use the Software for personal, non-commercial use on any Apple-branded products running Mac OS X ("Mac Computer") that you own or control.

If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may install and use the Software on a number of Apple-branded products running Mac OS X ("Mac Computer") that you own or control equal to the number of licenses purchased. Installing and using the Software on multiple Mac Computers with a single license is prohibited even if the computers are not running the Software concurrently.

Oh thank you! Thats exactly what I was looking for. Guess i should've dug harder :p
I would assume it would be the same or similar for parallels?

I guess, I just used the search engine of no choice with the search terms "vmware fusion license", thus using "parallels desktop license" could provide similar results.
 
Yep, found some old threads in the forum and links from google and they all suggest that I can have only one copy of parallels installed per key. Which means i will need 2 license..:(
Fusion 4 seems like a better deal than parallels 7 now
