Hi Nic, This isn't Annie, but the Nisus license states "You may use a copy of the software on a second or portable computer, as long as the extra copy is never loaded at the same time the software is loaded on the primary computer on which you use the software."
This is a pretty good deal -- the lowest price that I've seen for Nisus Writer Pro except for the one time that it appeared as part of a MacLegion app bundle of 10 apps for $49.99 back in 2011, when the current major version update was first released. If you haven't purchased a MacUpdate promo before, you should be aware that you'll need to create a user account, and that requires a one-time negotiation of a CAPTCHA. Once you've created an account for your MacUpdate purchases, you can access all your previous receipts and registration information, as well as links to the product, from your account login. The current promo runs for about another 10 hours, and can be found, while the deal is active, at this web page: https://deals.macupdate.com/ Note that you buy this from the Macupdate site and not through the Mac App Store. They may also extend the period at which the app is available at a lesser discount (like 25% instead of 51%, for a few more days), but that's at the discretion of the developer who is offering the deal. I particularly like using Nisus Writer Pro for creating of ePub versions of documents. Although Pages can create ePub output, Nisus Writer Pro has more features, such as the easy creation of table of contents from headings (which requires the Nisus Writer Pro version, as opposed to the Express version). For example, I created an ePub version of Justin Romack's blog article about using the Kindle app by adding the headings to a Table of Contents that I could use to navigate through the article, when I read the new version in iBooks. Although I also use Pages, I find Nisus Writer Pro a bit more intuitive to use, and I also like the PowerFind features that additionally let you use regular expressions to search for matches. The Nisus Writer Express version does not have support for features such as Table of Contents, Indexing, Cross References, Bookmarks, Track Changes, Comments, Watermarks, Export to ePub, and Export to .docx (though it can import .docx format Office documents). You can check out the 15-day free trial download at: http://www.nisus.com/pro/ Christine asked earlier about other word processing apps. For simple operations, the third party app Bean, or iText Express (available from the Mac App Store) can offer a few more options than TextEdit, in terms of support for headers and footers of pages, and footnotes, or page/word counters. TextEdit is quite useful. But if you need more options, such as bibliographic references, etc. Pages or Nisus Writer (in the Express or Pro versions) will do more. I also like the PowerFind features of Nisus. You can search for terms using regular expressions, if you are used to using this in linux or unix. This allows you to craft more detailed searches using other information that you know about the search strings or their attributes. HTH.
