# Can I start a free trial on a second Mac?

Yes. The trial is tied to each Mac, so a different Mac that has never run Storage Studio gets its own 15-day trial when you register on it.

What you can't do is start a second trial on a Mac that has already had one. If you've already bought a plan and want it on another Mac, see [using your licence on a different Mac](https://storagestudio.us/faq/licensing-payments/can-i-move-my-licence-to-a-new-mac).
