You can log in to Arcade on a total of 4 computers, though you can only use it on one machine at a time.
Can I Add My Own Samples to ARCADE?
Yes!
How Much Space Does ARCADE Take?
The total file size of Arcade depends on the amount of content you choose to download. The base installation only takes around 2GB. You can set a custom folder for Arcade content if you want to store it on an external drive.
Do I Need Internet Access In Order To Use Arcade?
Yes! An internet connection will be used to log in to your account, as well as to download Kits and Samples. However, you can use Arcade offline with any local Kits/Samples you already have downloaded for 30 days, after which you’ll need to re-connect to the web.
