Using Spanning Sync with Multiple Macs

One of the most useful features of Spanning Sync is its ability to share calendars among multiple Macs. Many of our users use more than one Mac—often one at work and one or more at home. Synchronizing calendars on all of your machines is easy, and requires only a single Spanning Sync license.

To set up Spanning Sync on multiple Macs, first download and install it on one machine, login using your Google account, pair your iCal and Google calendars, and perform a sync. At this point, Google Calendar will have a copy of all of your events.

Then on each of your other Macs, create an empty iCal calendar for each calendar you're syncing. Install Spanning Sync and login with the same Google account, then pair the appropriate Google calendars with the empty iCal calendars and sync. From this point on, changes you make in iCal on any of your computers will be synchronized with Google Calendar and with your other Macs.

Remember that since Spanning Sync is licensed per-person and not per-Mac, you can install it on as many Macs as you like—just login using the same Google account on each one.

We've been extremely pleased with the positive feedback we've gotten since the launch--in the form of public comments and private emails to be sure, but even more so in purchases.
