ah ah ah :-) I should learn to use commas... "have had problems, making
IDL crash"
it reminds me of a joke (before the serious work of starts):
a prof writes on the board:
"A woman without her man is nothing"
and asks the students to put the punctuation.
While males don't write anything, females do...
"A woman: without her, man is nothing"
Ok, back to work :)

I don't know the answer to this question in general,
but I have a "personal use license" and I can run
it on any three computers (not simultaneously, however),
and I have installed the same license (at various times)
on Windows, LINUX, and Macintosh computers and had them
all work perfectly with it.
Cheers,
David
P.S. Let's just say if this were NOT possible, it would
be completely impossible to make an IDL Virtual Machine
that was the least bit useful to you. :-)
