X-Plane 11

X-Plane 11

Multi Computer
I am in the process of networking 2 computers together, one for external scenery (3 monitors) and the other for instrument panel (3 monitors). My question is that I keep reading I need to purchase another license for the second computer but even if I try to purchase it again (here on Steam) it tells me I already own the game and there is no option to buy again. Additionally if anyone has any input on the setup described above I would greatly appreciate any tips.
I am also planning on using Air Manager for the instrument panel.

Thanks!

I have 2 networked computers running x-plane 11, one with steam but the other is using a digital license from x-plane's website. I did manage to get them working together, but the result wasn't as smooth as I hoped.
I also run Air Manager on my iPad Pro 12.9, and I strongly recommend it. Totally satisfied with my experience with Air Manager

If you need multiple licenses, then you"ll probably have to purchase them directly from Laminar. It might be the best to contact them directly and confirm what kind of licensing your setup would need.

Under the X-Plane Pro version it is stated that:
"Note that you will need one pro-use license—whether digital download or USB key—per computer if you’re planning a multi-machine simulator."

Not sure if you will actually need the pro version in order to create a multi-machine setup, or whether the standard version will be enough.

I have used air manager but be careful before spending money, Air manager doesn't support all the panels you would hope for in the 737 for example. If you are using zibo i would recommend glass cockpit. zhsi from the .org
