Switching to JeppView

JV subscription allows you to have it on four computers but I don't know how
that is enforced. I suspect it is by contract. But, for me, two would be OK.
Four is plenty.

Now that I've already made the decision, I would be interested in hearing
other peoples experience with switching.


I switched a number of years ago. I have coverage for eastern US and
eastern Canada. I keep up to date printouts for the 15-20 airports in my
usual flying area in a small Jepp binder.

On longer trips, I usually print out what I think I'll need. One trip we
had to cancel because, due to TRW, any deviation would take us over areas
for which I did not have printed charts.

In part because of that, I purchased a Motion 1400 tablet PC and now keep
JV also installed on that.

So far as multiple computers, the JV subscription allows you to have it on
two computers (but not use both at the same time).

You must have a different type of subscription than I do. My license reads
that I can only have it installed on two computers at the same time. It
states that in summary form in the manual; and here is the relevant text
from the license itself:

"Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Software and Data are permanently
installed on the hard disk or other storage device of a single computer
(other than a network server which is strictly prohibited) that is used
only by Licensee, then Licensee may also install the Software and Data on
one additional ground-based computer, provided that there is no concurrent
use of the Software and Data on both computers by any person for any reason
whatsoever."

I just switched and I don't even have the package yet. Supposed to arrive
today. My comment was based on my direct question and the answer from the
person who took my order. A paraphrased quote of her answer: "You can
install it on four computer. Wait let me check. That may be two ground-based
and two-airborne computers. ... No. Four computers, wherever you want."

I don't know why they put such restrictions. I can understand a clause that
says something like, "Don't sell charts and don't let anyone else use this
software." But who cares how many places I have it installed as long as I am
the sole user. I'm getting better value. They aren't loosing any money.

There has been a whole lot of JeppView sharing going on. Joe gives his two-week
old disk to Jim, and so on.

No doubt there has been a lot of sharing. What does that have to do with
restricting the number of PCs that I install their software on for my
personal use. I have 4 PCs in my house plus my laptop at work. I carry paper
charts around with me now when I am planning a flight. I just lost that
ability (legally) because some lawyer thinks that the appearance of
strictness will temper illegal acts at the expense of legitmate users.

Now that I have the new version in my hands, it allows me to install it on a
single ground-based computer but then says that I can install it on another
one. Geez, can't they count to two? I don't want to make money by selling
their charts. I don't want to cheat them by giving away charts. I just don't
want to have to uninstall it and re-install it every time I move from the
den to my office or the basement or the playroom or the bedroom.

The license section is many paragraphs long. It can be summarize in just a
few words, "Printed charts and software to be used only by licensee for
personal use."

By the way, that is completely different answer than the order taker gave
me. Nowhere does it say anything about 4 copies.

Perhaps the license is different with JV 3, if that is what you are
getting. I am still using JV2.

You probably haven't upgraded to 3.0.

No I have not. That's why I suggested that he might have a different type
than I.

I think the machine has to connect with Jepp via the Internet at specified
intervals or it all goes TU.

Nope. There is no technical restriction other than by contract of the
license.
