From the FAQ:
> 9. Can I use my personal license on multiple machines?
> You may install the license on more than one machine but it may be used on only one machine at a time. To run multiple installations simultaneously, each instance requires a separate license.

Will I still be able to run multiple instances of ReSharper on the same machine? This is pretty essential to my workflow. For example, I have three instances of VS2015 open at the moment: One for my Unity project, another for a C# plugin, and a third for the installer. ReSharper runs fine in all of them.
I can also run these on my Windows machine while having IDEA open on my Mac. (Actually the Windows machine is a Parallels VM, but same difference.) Will this capability go away? That would be unfortunate.

- Stratoscope 11y agoGood idea, thanks. I updated my comment above with the link.
- cscharenberg 11y agoThis is a good question. I usually have multiple PyCharm instances running and have never had a problem. I never thought about it until my wife started up PyCharm on my other computer and I got a notice saying another computer on the network was using a license and one of us needed to quit. JetBrains needs to reassure us multiple instances are ok on same machine and across VMs. Will running the IDE in OS X and also a guest Linux VM look like multi-machine use? If so, that's really a bad flaw in licensing.
- gorohoroh 11y agoWe're not changing anything in this regard: if it works now, it will work the same way with new subscription licenses. If you encounter a case when a setup like this doesn't work, please contact JetBrains and we'll look into resolving the problem.
- Stratoscope 11y agoI was under the impression that they treat a VM like a separate machine - but now I'm not sure. I started IDEA in OSX and a Windows 10 VM on the same machine ten minutes ago, and so far neither instance has complained. I know IDEA has complained when I've run it on the Mac and my ThinkPad. If this is legit and I can run IDEA on the host machine and in one or more VMs on the same machine, that would be a very good thing for multiplatform developers.
- gorohoroh 11y agoYes, nothing changes in this respect: you can run multiple instances of Visual Studio with ReSharper on the same machine. Co-using IJ and ReSharper should be fine as well, as long as it's you and only you using them.
- snuxoll 11y agoNothing is changing as far as multi-machine or multi-instance usage is concerned. JetBrains products talk on the network periodically to find if another instance is running on a different computer and will force you to close one of them, you can run as many instances on the same computer without any issues.
