Can I use ADB PowerKey Pro and Rebound! on the same ADB Mac?

It’s possible, but redundant. You can connect both hardware units to the same Mac, but because the software is so similar, you cannot use both the Rebound! and the PowerKey software on the same system. Fortunately, the PowerKey software supports both Rebound and PowerKey devices, so you can use the PowerKey software to control both devices. However, the PowerKey software only supports the basic Rebound! v1 software features (system crash and custom applications crash monitoring) and cannot provide all the advanced features of the Rebound! 2.0 software. As the Server Restart Option in the PowerKey Pro also provides those basic crash detection and recovery features, using both products on the same Mac offers little, if any, advantage.
