If I could install PB on the USB, and simply plug that into whatever machine I'm using, that would be absolutly wonderful.Īlso, I'm assuming that none of this applies to a linux installation? Because of the file structure of linux, and how it handles "locations", I'm assuming that there is no way to do the same thing with a linux installation. I am an IT manager and I'm constantly trying new PC's.usally something new about every three or four weeks. (I would assume that installation on a USB would constitute "one" installation even though it is "movable".?)Īs I had mentioned in a previous post, I move between machines a lot. Since then I have uninstalled the installation on that home machine, because I actually have PB installed on another home machine and I was trying to stay within the license agreement.

However, USB installations will register to the computer they are installed on and not onto the USB drive unless Windows recognizes the drive as a “Removable Disk” (when you open My Computer look under the “Type” column). Under Windows, PersonalBrain can be installed on a USB drive so that it can be moved from computer to computer without the need to activate the registration on each individual computer.
