You could try copying all the .dat files with current dates from one
machine to the other, however, you might run into some compatibility
issues, not sure. The Pro version allows more features and more rules
and there might be other differences as well. Try it and see what
happens. Worse case is you'd just have to reinstall Sygate on your 2nd
machine again..

Thanks. Will try it. Else I will just buy another license.

I assume there will be file differences of course.

Appreciate it.
