Yes, you may store the game, after you bought it, on any form of data storage device, be it a usb stick, a memory card, external hard drive, or just on a DVD-Rom, etc. No problem!

But the EULA still says that you're only entitled to make one installment, for one person, on one computer at a time. But where you store the software itself, the installer that is, is up to you. :thumbs:

Not sure if it will run on that umpc though. :-\

Regards,
Fred

It does not seem likely that SS 2008 will give satisfactory performance on that device.
Regards,
Marty

Post by: Master Captain on April 18, 2010, 06:12:05: sadly that umpc has a 1.3ghz or 1300mhz processor, ship sim require 2.4ghz and the graphics device probally won't be able to handle it either.

Post by: McGherkin on April 18, 2010, 16:59:34: Same thing. They just stuck the designs on the photocopier and hit 'Enlarge'

EDIT: Seriously, I would like to see a cut down iPod/iPhone/iPad version. I think the people who make X-plane could do it...
