I do a lot of work in my office but other times i travel for work I take my laptop. If I bought a second copy so I can play the same save file on both machines how hard would it be to transfer the save back and forth and can that be done?

Yes it can be... just copy the folder of your saved game on a USB stick and you'd able to move it back and forth from one computer to the other.

You didn't need to buy a 2nd copy, your license can be used on 2 installs at the same time. ie - your computer at work and your laptop both can use the same license.

Both copies can't be used at the same time, if I recall correctly. Also, your 3 PT logins are between the 2 activations, so you don't get 6 by using the second copy.

It is possible use both copies of your license at the same time. I've done it on a number of occasions.

This is why I buy from Steam... I don't have to think about the licence limit to move my game from any of my computers.
