Can you install the latest Final Cut Studio (not Final Cut Pro X) on two computers?

I would like to know if you can install and use Final Cut Studio on two computers (One Desktop and One Laptop). I have researched and found that you can install on two computers (one desktop and one laptop), but the computers have to be registered to the same user. My brother and I would like to use this software, but he purchased a laptop under his own name, and my desktop was purchased under mine.

Related question:

I have a license for Final Cut Express that I have loaded on my primary workstation, which is the computer I use for video editing. I would like to do captures using my laptop computer, saving to an external hard drive. I need to capture hours of mini-DV tape to hard drive at the highest quality possible, but I cannot tie up my primary workstation during this process. What is the best recommended approach for this task? Can iMovie capture at the same quality? Thanks, Scott

Actually, you are in the wrong forum.


The FCE forum can be found here:

For what it's worth, if all you need is DV/NTSC or DV/PAL capture, get LiveCapturePlus from the people who publish CatDV to run on your non FCE computer. It work just fine and save you from the purgatory of iMovie capture.
