Couple off questions from a demo user.
First off is the program linked to a windows installation, by that I mean if I upgrade the computer/ operating system re install etc can I still use the key I have bought or do I need to apply for a new key?
Second question, do I need two licenses to run on my main computer and my laptop.
Some programs allow you this, some don't.
Can't seem to find that in the FAQ.

Great question (I know the FAQs are lacking - we’ll get there someday)!
What you are buying for $40 is a license, not a key. That license will allow you to request keys for your Spell Catcher installations on all your machines. Generally speaking, each machine will require a different key. You request those keys using the same license, which costs $40.
If you buy a new computer or upgrade the OS, you can still use the same license to request a key so Spell Catcher will operate beyond the 15 day trial period on that machine.
Is there a limit to the number of keys you can request using the same license?
Generally speaking, no, provided you don’t go to town. A single license can’t be used to request keys for 10 different machines as soon as it is purchased. We are reasonable, and we hope our customers are too...
What about Spell Catcher upgrades? Once you have bought Spell Catcher, all upgrades are free unless the upgrade includes a payment-required enhancement - in which case the enhancement will be optional.
An example of this kind of “enhancement” is the Portuguese language packages. We have to charge an additional $10 for these packages because we have to pay additional fees to Franklin Publishers for their use.
There are no annual or maintenance fees.
Thanks for the question,
