I want to buy PrimoCache!

Post by SylverCheetah53 »

Hi!
So, if I buy 1 license, I can use it for dual-boot?
I have 2 operating systems. Windows 10 and Windows 8.1. Can I install it on both?
And another thing. If I buy 1 license now, I can user the software forever with all updates?
Thank you!
regards,
DANIEL (Romania)

Using Primocache across dual-boot OSs is usually not optimal. v4.0.1 added in a cache verification at boot time, though I'm unsure if it will toss out dirty blocks or simply invalidate the cache if it finds changes. I suspect the first as otherwise it wouldn't be a very useful feature.

If you have the free trial installed you can test this yourself, but you'll want to have separate cache space for each OS (i.e. if using a SSD as a L2, divide it into two partitions and use one for each OS, not one for both).

The good news is that currently, the license you acquire is good for future updates. I've not tried installing the same license on two OSs on the same hardware - perhaps Support can let you know if this is possible.

Yes, dual-boot systems on a computer only need one license. And it is free for future updates.
