Will Changing PC's 'Device Name' Cause Any Problems

Postby Musical.Alchemy » Mon Nov 26, 2018 12:16 pm

I used the same ‘device name’ for both my laptop and desktop, which never posed a problem until I noticed my DAW (Studio One) uses the device name to differentiate between ‘activated’ installs. Making it hard to manage my activations.

That said, I will probably have to rename my PC’s ( settings/system/about/rename) but before I do I’d like to know if this will cause any further problems with other software such as my Amplitube 4 and Custom Shop apps.

Are there any foreseeable problems concerning any IK Multimedia Apps by changing the PC’s device name ?

Thank you…

Hello Musical.Alchemy and welcome to the forum.

I am not sure - you might need to Authorize the products again.

But this is primarily a user to user forum, so someone-else may chime in. Meanwhile, the best thing to do is raise a Support Ticket, here:

for some one to one help.

Thank you DarkStar.

I did in fact go forward and change the devices name, and so far have not had any problems.

Thank you again for your help...
