Multiple Installation Problem on Steam

So any of you who are on Steam:

I installed Steam on another computer so that I can play DCS on it while away from my main PC. It runs, but non-ED modules such as the F-14 will not let me into the cockpit. I can view the plane in external view, view it on the F10 map , but that's it. Apparently it won't validate the license since I have it on another computer. The ED ones (such as F/A-18) work just fine.

So anyone know how to fix this? I know you can't play 2 Steam games at the same time without it logging off your other account, or unless you have an authorized computer. but I even shut down DCS and Steam on my main rig before firing everything up on the laptop.

I tried a few fixes from the web such as shown here:

Nothing worked. I also did an uninstall/reinstall and file validation. It just thinks I don't have a license. Any other ideas?

no idea, but did you try ED forums?

my guess is it something with the work laptop we discussed last night.

Might need to ask HB or whoever they are about it. Seems like a definite CP limitation.
