Does activating my licsense on an ipad count against my limit of 2 activations?

Yes. But you can buy up to 3 additional licenses if you want for only $10 bucks. That license is attached to your main license so your iPad would have access to all the same packages as your desktop/laptop.

Any full version of HeroLab requires a Unique License for each machine it is installed on. HeroLab comes with two Licenses, but you have to use the obtain secondary license feature to get your second license.

So if you have it on your home computer and now want it for your Ipad, there is no additional cost.

Edit: Curse my slow fingers... Shadow Beat me!

While that would be great, I'm not aiming that high. Just the ability to save my portfolio into a directory of my choosing and the ability to load from the same directory. Said directory could be located on one of the cloud services such as Dropbox, Drive, iCloud, or OneDrive.

See HERE from apple.

I use both of those methods. The bold helps some, but the zoom is actually a fixed zoom by tapping three fingers together. It has some uses, but is not as useful as the normal zoom. It's ok I will just continue to use a pdf of my character sheet, which zooms as needed.

Wow. Having spent the day playing with this I am super-impressed. I know this was no trivial task and I'm struggling to find even minor areas for improvement.

(Landscape mode, ability to enter digits rather than use the counters - I am not going to enter the starting gold for a level 12 character that way!, and a minor bug where adding an item such as a slayer feat throws out the alignment between the list and the descriptions).

But these are tiny things really. This is an amazing achievement and vindicates my decision to keep pouring cash into data packs :-)

You have just sealed the fate of my 2009 Samsung Netbook which now has no utility at all!

+1 I got to use this last night and is VERY stable now and very happy with this.

My only issue is please please add something to make it noticeable when you get a critical threat. Make the number "bold", italics, underline, blink...... Please!

I was messing around with this today and the only thing keeping me from leaving my laptop at home from now on is the ability to load and edit cloud copies instead of manually transferring files back and forth. Then, its pretty much ideal for game days.

Thanks - I'm sure this is on the way somehow, just sayin'.

I got the same problem exactly!!

I currently use an App called FILE BROWSER on my IPAD. It allows me via my Wireless Network to browse the files on my PC and then load them onto my IPAD. I have a Directory for my Players *.POR files that they can browse and then click LOAD IN and select Herolabs. 1 second later the Character is on their IPAD and available for use. Currently they are only using the FREE Herolabs as Character Sheets but its a start.

Hope that Helps a Little.
