I'm having trouble logging in. Just paid for and downloaded the client for Mac, it seems to be OK, starts up but doesn't let my daughter log in. We created an account on minecraft.net for her, but it doesn't list Minecraft on her account page. How do I get it set up so both my daughter and son can play on the same computer (at different times)?
How do I get Minecraft to show up on her account? Do I have to buy it again? I already purchased the software, my kids just want to play.
Are you logged into the correct account then? You should login with the email that is associated with your daughter's account when you bought it. What is her Minecraft username?
That's not really clear on the web site. When I buy software for my computer, it runs for all the different users. The price paid seems right for a software license, but a bit steep for a user license.
They are already users on their iPods, can I get that user license to work?

That's not the way most games work. When you buy Minecraft, you mark that account as "Premium" and when you try to log in, the Log in servers detect that you are premium, and allow you to play.
The reason that the game is tied to the account and not the computer is because you can play Minecraft on any computer with that account.
I disagree about most games. When I buy an application, game or otherwise, on the App Store, each user that logs into up to 5 of my computers can use the software. When I buy a game for my Wii, any of the countless Miis on my system can play it. The distinction between software license and user license needs to be clearly stated.
Can the user license that both my kids purchased on their iPods be used on the computer?

Most gamers want to be able to play their games on different computers, and most people only need one account anyway. Also, you can't use the iPod license because Minecraft PE is a lot cheaper than PC.

Did you buy it for HER account, or just yours?

Retired StaffOne account can only contain one Minecraft copy.
And one Minecraft copy can only belong to one person.
As said above, the program is tied to the account, not the computer. You will need to buy Minecraft on your daughters account for it to work.
