EW4 Licensing For 3 Installations

[Ayrzee]

I have a UK copy of Expression Studio 4 Web Professional which allows me two installations. However, I need a third installation (tablet PC as well as laptop and PC), but there doesn't seem to be any provision for this.

Is an separate licence available that allows for this or do I have to go and buy another full version?

You need another copy of EW which as long as you qualify for the upgrade price you can buy that version which is only $79. or thereabouts.

Hi Pat,

Thanks for that, I'll look into it, although worth noting that pricing here in the UK is somewhat higher than in the USA. I have no understanding as to why it should be that way. Similarly, why a downloaded "eco" version isn't cheaper than a delivered version beats me too; although I guess if you state a 3 week delivery it kinda forces you one way over the other - cynical to call it eco though IMO.

Mark,

Everything I've ever priced seems to be the same in pounds as dollars, in part it seems to be related to UK taxes and duties (plus we don't have VAT). Heck, prices in France seem to be noticably cheaper than in the UK as well.

MS won't sell online any less than MSRP to avoid competing with its resellers unfairly.

I did notice at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Expression-Web-3-0-Upgrade/dp/B002CNER8O/ref=sr_1_5?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1328314072&sr=1-5 you can buy it for £77.99. Since MS gives a free upgrade to EW 4 for those who have any retail version of EW 3 that would accomplish your goal and give you more activations. Just make sure you have EW 3 installed before you install EW 4 to take advantage of the free upgrade. See http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/upgrade.aspx for more infomation on the free upgrade for EW 3 owners.
