Can I use a program on 2 different phones?

About a year ago I bought some programs here for my Nokia N73 (Best safe - advanced call manager - advanced lock devise etc). Now I have bought a Nokia N95 8GB, and wonder if I can use these programs on this phone, or if I have to buy them one more time?

The short answer is, it varies.

If you had to register your IMEI number when you originally bought a program, then it probably won't work on another phone. If they didn't ask for the IMEI, then the program should be fine.

Why not just try? It can't do any harm to install and see if it works.. If they work on the N73 then they should be compatible with the N95.

I was thinking I perhaps would get an error-message like "this program has already been installed into one device, and can't be installed on an other".
So I will try to install it, and see what happens. Thank you very much for your advice 😊
