TTN5 - Can I load it on two different handhelds ?

[neilandjoanna]

I have an HP IPAQ 2210 running TTN5 with GB Plus maps and I have just bought my wife a MIO 168 and want to load TTN5 onto her handheld as well - we would be both using the navigator in our own cars potentially at the same time.

Can I do this ? I can load the software but am asked to enter the product key to activate the maps - since I've already done this once will it cause me problems ?

I don't really want to have to buy another TTN5 set but don't really want to break the licence and certainly don't want to cause myself problems.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I think in practice the answer is yes, but I'm not sure about the copyright angle. The reason I say yes is that initially I had problems with my SD slot and a neighbour copied the software onto a CF card which worked. I entered the code numbers etc which gave me an activation code over the internet.

After having the SD slot repaired I had to re install TTN5. I sued the original codes but got a message that those numbers were already in use. When I input the new device code given the second time I was given a new activation code which worked fine. In theory this could have been installed on a new machine, unless the device codes are recognisable.

I don't think it can be loaded on 2 different devices. I purchased a second hand copy off ebay which had already been registered. It wouldn't give me an new access code, saying the device didn't match.

It shouldn't harm it trying though.

Thaks for the advice all - I'll give it a go and see what happens !!

I have loaded T?T 5 onto 2 pda's. A 3870 and a 3850 even though the 3850 is not shown as compatable. The activation site shows both the PDA's as being activated, but with different codes.

If you buy TomTom and install into onto two units then you would be breaking TomTom's licence agreement. TomTom is designed to work on once PDA but if your PDA dies then you can install it onto a second replacement PDA.
