I have two computers, one desktop computer and a laptop. Sometimes I play on the desktop and sometimes on the laptop.

The first question is... does the license allow me to install the software in two computers?

The second question is... how can I have both postgres databases automatically synchronized? I mean if I play in the desktop I want to have the data automatically updated in the laptop and viceversa.

I have tought that the solution could be to have the applilcation on the laptop pointing to the postgres database on the desktop, but it'd only work when I were at home but not when I'm travelling away.

Another solution is a third party software for synchronizing postgres databases, does anybody know any well working and free one?

Thank you very much.

Your license is valid for 2 of your computers so thats fine.

For the synchronisation the basic one you already mention is a network database:

Another solution would be to use an external drive for the postgresql data folder but i wouldn't recommend this solution because i think its instable. http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?topicid=40&faqid=154

I suggest you copy the handhistory files from the hm archive folder to the other computer and import them there via import file or import from folder.

I have no experience with synchronisation solutions. You will possible find better informations about this at www.postgresql.org.

Thank you very much.

The second link was very resourceful for me. I'll do it this way that is much more comfortable than copy and import hand histories.
