For many years now, I have had an Individual Plan installed on two computers. I have have always been able to use the various apps on both computers and the same time. Recently I keep getting a message saying that I can only use the app on one computer at a time. Is this a new thing? If not, why have it always worked on two. I am confused, do I need to change my plan?

    it’s always been a restriction.  ie, you can only use one computer at any one time. however, it’s never been clear what exactly using one computer at any one time means.

    My understanding is that one computer at a time has always been the rule
