You've got a thing where if you log in on one system it logs you out of other systems, but you say I can buy an add-on for more simultaneous log-ins. I'm not sure yet if I really need that or not, but I'm willing to pick it up just in case.
But I can't find where to buy it! How do I buy this multi-computer license? |

As far as I understand you can't yet. I think its part of a future feature actually. Most likely when they do Pathfinder because many people using Pathfinder own multiple licenses.
Currently for Starfinder you can only have one license which equates to a single device signon.

With the multiple logon licenses, I'd be in a much better position to really start using HLO. Right now, it's mostly a curiosity, with a hope that it will be more useful in the future.
+1 for "please get multi-system logon working sooner than later" |

Personally, I would be ok with them only allowing 1 login per account. I have read quite a few comments on these forums of people stealing from LWD by purchasing only one account and multiple licenses for their gaming group.

I do not see a problem with a gm paying for a block of licenses for a group to use it is done in the all the time in the corporate environment.
Yearly Payment $1.00 per month = 84 a year Two payments a year $1.25 per month = two payments of $49.50 ($99.00 per year) Three payments per year !.50 per month = three payments of $38.00 ($114 per year) Four Payments per year $1.75 per month = 4 payments of 32.25 ($129 per year) Monthly payments $2.00 per month = 12 payments of $12.00 ($144 per year) the above takes into account that the GM is paying full price for access and a five player group I don't expect LWD would ever do quarterly, trimester access or month to month access and i doubt they would follow the payment scale i laid out. |

I have at least 3 computers ready to go so I can sit the meticulous player at his own node, sit one of the help-needed players at their own node, and leave one station for players who know what they're doing, and let them speed through it. If needs be, I have an old clunker I can pull out as a 4th station. Having that capacity saves us a bunch of time on group character creation. We can get done in hours what would otherwise take a week or more (I'd otherwise have to schedule each person on a different day, and work around their work/school schedules). I'm sure I'm not the only one in this boat, and limiting HLO to a single login will almost guarantee that you'll have people refusing to buy into it, for a very legitimate reason. |

I believe the problem is when the licensee allows other members of the group to have access on their own computers (ones that are not owned and operated by the licensee). |

Was there an official statement on the multiple login?
It of course would already help to have till then - as a workaround ? - a "You are already logged in on <name of the other one>. Do you want to logout the other instance?" Dialog (and if no it doesnt try to login). |
