<p>You have a couple of potential options</p>
<p>Firstly, for private use you are allowed to use Moneydance on as
many computers as you like for the purchase cost of one license.
This applies to Moneydance that is purchased directly from the IK
website, I cannot speak about other sites like the Mac store,
Amazon etc.</p>
<p>For Moneydance 2015 and earlier (excl copies purchased from the
Mac App Store) you can place you data files on a shared location,
dropbox is specifically recommended, other services could be
potentially problematic depending on how they work. This makes the
data accessible from multiple computers BUT you can only use the
data on one machine at a time as there is no simultaneous file
sharing. This method has suited many users over the years.</p>
<p>This solution is documented in the Knowledge Base paper:</p>

http://help.infinitekind.com/kb/program-basics/sharing-data-via-two...</a></p>
<p>Note that you should identical version, incl build number, on
both machines.</p>
<p>With Moneydance 2017 there is a new method that does permit
simultaneous access, this method should prove to be superior. This
method is documented in the Knowledge Base paper at:</p>

<p>As a user of a previous version you should be entitled to a 50%
discount on purchasing an upgrade if you purchased MD 2014 or
earlier, if you purchased MD 2015 then the upgrade is free.</p>
<p>Hopefully this gives you a starting point.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/411341012016-11-02T13:49:50Z2016-11-02T13:49:50ZMoneydance<div><p>Hi,</p>
<p>Many thanks for your kind and rapid response. I do, as you
guessed, only want to use Moneydance on only one computer at a time
so am more than happy with the file “locking” you
mention. I simply would like to keep the file in a shared are on
the network and have both copies of the executable to have lone
access to the shared file.</p>

version of MD.</p>
