It's a complicated task that even Logic's own 32bit bridge couldn't master... Sound Radix have come up with a very neat app IMHO that works really well. Respect!
I checked their FAQs but couldn't find an answer: Can a single license be used on two machines?
Yes. I have it on my Mini and MBA. If you want to change computers(a third one) you have to unauthorize one with the installer. It will ask if you want to unauthorize the computer or install.

but some of my favorite virtual keys aren't / won't be updated to 64 bit anytime soon.
Which ones? Sylenth? Sylenth is coming out in 64 bit very soon: Sylenth1-64-bit
Personally, I have stopped using plugins that have not/will not updated to 64 bit. It's a bad sign... the developer is not keeping up with the times and probably will not provide updates which is really important when it comes to software.

Hmmmm I'm surprised that Arturia and NI haven't stepped up. Never heard of GSI. Have you contacted these developers about a 64 bit version?
NI has dropped Komplete Klassics and Arturia has moved on to Analog Lab. GSI says that they'll get around to it when they can find the time. So 32 Lives was my best option, and right now I'd say that it was worth the price.
Just my opinion, but any plug-in company that didn't start supporting 64-bit two years ago at the latest does not deserve to be supported with my money any longer.
It's not just since yesterday that it has been clear that 64 bit would be a very important and necessary step for audio technology.
If a company or developer isn't capable of providing 64 bit versions by now, they aren't taking their job and responsibility toward their paying customers seriously enough.
Not saying they don't make good plug-ins, but they're not taking it seriously enough as a tech business on which customers depend.
Still selling 32 bit plug-ins today is as if a company still tried to sell CRT monitors today.
Sure, you can make your 32-bit plug-ins run again with 32 Lives, but I think it sucks of the respective plug-in companies to leave you hanging with 32-bit plug-ins while the world moved on ten years ago.
As far as Sylenth1 is concerned, I'm definitely not going to buy the 64-bit version once it will be released at last. Took the dude EIGHT years to port one synth plug-in from 32 bit to 64 bit. Whatever he's been doing in the meantime - his focus apparently wasn't on keeping his software up to date. And if your software manufacturer's focus isn't on keeping their software up to date, that's not good for you as a customer.
