Hi. Only just bought Scaler, and I should have done this first - I know - but I really need to wipe clean my OS and start anew with a much scaled-down system.  
I believe I’m entitled to use my licence on 3 different machines. Will downloading a fresh version of Scaler mean I’m down to two, or will Scaler’s registration system see that it’s for the same machine?  
By the way, this product is amazing. Thanks to all developers and team.

Hi @LouHela

It will be ok, the limit is about active installations. If you wipe out your drive, this copy of Scaler will not be considered active anymore.
