A single copy of the software may be installed, or multiple users may install the software in their own user directory, or multiple users access the software remotely. In this case, the total licenses required, would equal the number of individual users using the software. i.e. if 10 users use the software on the same computer, you would need to purchase 10 licenses.
c) Multiple installations and Multiple users: The total license count required is calculated as the total number of installations or users, whichever is more. Example1: installations = 10, users = 15, licenses = 15. Example2: installations = 10, users = 5, licenses = 10.
d) Multiple users per computer, single copy of software installed: Sometimes many users share a computer, but only a single copy of the software is installed and Only one user uses the software. In this case, only a single license is required for that computer.
e) Within a Company, Licenses can be transferred from one user to another user, or one computer to another computer, provided the software is first removed completely from the original computer.
f) Licenses cannot be transferred from one Company to another Company.
g) Development license: A user is allowed to use an additional copy of the software on a development system, if the user already has a license in use. The sole use of the additional copy should be to create, develop and test tasks and schedules that will eventually be used in the original licensed copy (or for another license that will be subsequently licensed after testing is complete).
