But when the time came, the licensing did not work. They promised me that, since I had bought my copy within a certain timeframe, I would qualify for a free upgrade from version 8 to version 9. So I had already had one go-round with the GoodSync people about that. But if Windows became dysfunctional, or if my hard drive crashed, or for any other reason I had to reinstall GoodSync, that would count as one of my two permitted installations.
So, in my setup, I installed it on the secondary computer, and used it to synchronize my laptop and my primary computer with the secondary computer. The problem was that GoodSync could not be deactivated. GoodSync's representative told me that the license allowed me only two installations per year. There were two principal problems, one of which prompted my search for a replacement. I had purchased the pro version and worked through the details of setting it up.ĭuring this year, I had found GoodSync largely suited to the task. More than a year earlier, I had examined reviews of synchronization programs and had chosen GoodSync over the others. I was able to turn to the secondary computer and keep on working, pretty much where I had left off, because I was using a synchronization program that kept the two computers in sync via ethernet cable.Įxcept that, unfortunately, now was the moment when my synchronization program became flaky. The primary computer had just become dysfunctional. I was writing these words at one such moment. The fourth was now distributed, in pieces, across the universe.) I found it was convenient to have the second of those two computers take care of backup, construct reliable file indexes for searching, hold certain programs open, run certain batch files at regular intervals, and remain available for moments when the primary computer was doing maintenance or for some other reason was unavailable.
I had a home network with two computers, consistent with my evolving concept of how many computers a person should have.
