Linux vs Windows Compatibility

Hi,

Long-time MD and Linux user wondering about compatibility with Windows. If I had to use Windows would I need a new Licensing key? What is required to convert the Data file from Linux to Windows? Are there Data files internals that are different? If I used MD on Windows for while could I then switch back to the Linux App?

Thanks in advance,
Rod Biddle

    No new license required.

    No data conversion required. Just use file/export backup and file/restore backup

    I use Moneydance on both Windows and Linux, looking at Moneydance you would not know what platform you are on.
