Are you limited in the amount of Maschine serial codes in one account?

Thanks for the help figuring out how the process works. I do think it is cool that they give new serial numbers to the new owners. I bought a few used devices and I was not sure if the Maschine software would transfer more than once. The Maschine software should be free in my opinion, because then people can purchase sound packs and they become instant consumers. I did not even know about the license transfers until after I bought a Maschine. I think the option is way cool so you can resale your sound packs or whatever like you can with video games on steam.

One of my ideas to utilize them at the same time, would be using two set ups, side by side, allowing two users to play the devices like a mix. I wanted to do this with just one laptop, but I don't think the software is made to work with more than one maschine device at a time. The reason I would need multiple codes is to play simultaneously on more than one device at a time from the serial code for the software.

Yes, you can install on more than one device with one serial, but even if you can run it on 12 software devices by owning six Maschine hardware devices, does that mean they can run all the devices at the same time as long as the controllers are plugged in?

Right now, my scenarios are hypothetical although I do own six Maschine devices, and I almost bought the MKIII also. They all basically do the same thing and I only own two laptops currently. I didn't understand how the process works, so I am just trying to figure out how to make use of them. Since I plan on giving away two of them away and the new owners will receive a copy of the software once they register, I don't have to worry about those. I am also interested in figuring out how to use two or more at the same time. You could technically have an entire group playing through a mixer. This scenario would not need notation, only programming the sounds so they could be utilized in a live performance.

I want to make it like a group session with people or fellow music students at my college. One computer can not run this type of session. This simply could create a group, not just maschine devices, but could be made of only maschine devices. But the software can do a few instruments, like a keyboard, a maschine, a mic. I guess the audio interface can accomplish this basically, but it is a lot for one computer to handle if you do want to record a session.

I am interested in getting my college connected with this platform when they start electronic music next August also. The more I know, the better I can present it to my professor over the summer. I plan on taking the course to learn the terms and stuff involved with MIDI and Electronic interfaces. I know Ableton does an education license for schools to use it as a learning tool.
