If I have an iMac and a MacBook, do I need 2 licenses or does the license allow for this kind of use?

You probably only need one, but here's the relevant text from our licensing page:
"Our products are usually licensed for a given number of computers or users, whichever is lower. For instance, one person with both a laptop and a desktop computer (or, say, a home machine and an office machine) can legally install and use a single license on both computers, though not at the same time. Similarly, a home computer shared by three family members needs only a single license of the software."

Ah, well that makes sense. Last night I was on the MacBook and tried to run OmniWeb and it told me it was unlicensed. I screen-shared to the iMac and quit OmniWeb (which was running but not being used) and suddenly it worked fine on the MacBook.

How do family pack licenses work? I can't find any details about them anywhere on Omni's web site. Is it a single license that allows 5 concurrent uses? Is it 5 separate licenses? 3?
Is there some way I can install one of the uses as personal (to make sure I can always use OF) and have the remaining be network?

I believe that it is one license which allows up to 5 people to be using it at a given time.
No, I don't believe there is any way to "lock" one license to one computer, they are all "floating".

Aha...when you try to add it to your cart you get some more useful information:

p.s.: Omni's family license appears to be modeled after Apple's family pack license (e.g. for iLife): Quote:

Family Pack licenses may be purchased by a family whose members use the software both at home and at work. The commercial use restriction is to prevent a company from buying a family pack to get 5 seats for their employees to use at work. (We do typically offer separate bulk discounts to companies; contact sales@omnigroup.com for a quote.)

Great! That's what I figured it meant, but I wanted to be sure.
