How does the OF licensing work? Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
If I have a computer at work & a computer at home... do I purchase two licenses or one?
 
There's a blurb about this you can view from store.omnigroup.com; click the 'How our electronic licenses work.' link in the "Other Information" box at the bottom of the right sidebar.

But, the text relevant to your question is:

Quote:
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.

An additional clarification had been requested on this before, with no resolution: does "not at the same time" apply to the "can install" portion, or just the "can use" portion?

in other words, can I have it installed on two machines, but only use one of them at a time, or can I not have it installed on two machines period?

You need a license for every person using the software or for every computer using the software (whichever is less). So you can install a single license on two (or more) computers as long as you're the only person using those licenses and you're only using it on one computer at a time.
 
Excellent! Thank you for the clarification.
 
Considering all the terrible licensing and DRM implementations out there today, thank you for a system that seems to rely on common sense :)
