ZBrush Usage Questions

Hey there!
I have a silly little question about zbrush installation.
I have my home computer which I mainly use for all my zbrushing but I would also like to use it at work. Can I do that?
Install the same copy twice?

Installing One License on Multiple Computers

Article
ZBrush’s single user license is meant for use by one individual. However, it can be installed on multiple computers. The rule is simple: You can install ZBrush on as many computers as you want. Any two of those can be activated at any given time. Only one copy may actually be in use (running) at a time.

Run the installer to put ZBrush on whatever computers you anticipate needing it. Activate any two of those computers. (Such as home and a laptop, or work and home.) If you later need to run ZBrush on a third computer, simply deactivate one of your other copies first. This is done using the deactivation button found in the Zplugin>Licensing menu within ZBrush. That copy of ZBrush will be shut down, but not uninstalled. The serial number will now be able to be used to activate on the other computer. Later, you can deactivate on that machine and then reactivate on the first without needing to reinstall ZBrush.

Please note that this only applies to single user licenses. If you need to run two or more copies simultaneously, or if you wish to have multiple artists using ZBrush you will need to purchase licenses for each concurrent user.

Thanks for the answer man. It was helpful.
But I’m still having problems enabling the work copy.
I start the activation on the web and the whole process goes smoothly (I receive the activation email) but when I paste the activation mail I get a message saying activation failed or something close to that.
I have no idea how to proceed.
I think I’ll need to contact support.

Did you read the ‘Activation’ section starting on page 17 in the ‘ZBrush4_whats_new.pdf’ in your ZBrush 4.0\Documentation folder?

I followed the exact same process.
The result was the failed activation

EDIT:
I can see that the activation of the program was successful because I tried to reregister the computer and it said that the computer is already activated.
But when I put the number in it fails to activate.
