playing on two pcs

Dovahkiin804 · April 2014

i have this game on my desk top pc, my question is when I get my laptop can I use the same game on the laptop as my desktop and same accout or do I have to buy a whole new game and pay a diff fee to play? I love ESO so much I want to get it for my laptop to play at friends.

Can you not just re-download the client from within your account pages?

Not that I know if that would work though, I must add.

Yes, you can play the game on any number of machines, but not at the same time with one account.

Since that doesn't sound like what you're trying to do, you should be fine. Just download the client onto the machine you want to use when you're away from home.

ya I want to play on a laptop while im away at my friends house my desktop game will be signed out of my account, I just want to make sure before I go off and buy the laptop.

and what about installing one game on two different pcs but logging in with two different accounts? the two pcs are using the same router. Are the accounts bound to thier installation disc or am I able to log in on any computer with eso on it?

@Fusspilzsammler‌ - your account isn't tied to the disc from which you installed it (in fact, you could buy the physical edition of ESO and still download the game from the account page). As long as the two accounts are separate, have each redeemed a unique game code, and each have an active subscription, you're good to go. Game on!

Anyone else find this response from a ZOS official confusing? It seemed pretty clear the OP wants to use the same SINGLE account on two devices, though not at the same time. Why then does the 'official' response refer to two accounts? This response makes it sound like OP needs a separate account for each device. The others responses are of the opinion OP can do as he asks, but what ZOS_AmeliaR wrote is just confusing.

@Ourorboros - thats because the answer from @ZOS_AmelieR does refer to the posting about hers (or the quoted part in her posting), not to the original question of the OP
So -not really confusing

Did you even read the OP???

@OP You can play the same account on different PCs. Just not at the same time.

Not sure how I missed it, but I didn't see the post from Fusspilzsammler‌. So all is clear now.

People can and do make mistakes. No need to be unnecessarily rude.

Holy cap people, this is not rocket science. You can log into your account on an infinite amount of pc's. But can only be logged in on one at a time. You can have as many accounts logged in as you want, as long as each has it's own subscription. It's been this way for damn near 20 years.

What about an infinite amount of consoles AND PCs?

For once this was a very helpful dev answer and AmelieR got bashed by {insert proper diminutive term} who only bothered to read 1st post and dev answer.
Shame on you people. Shaaaame.

I made an honest mistake and said as much. Or did you not read that? Bust my chops if you feel you must, but I made my mea culpa, so just kiss my squirrel.
