Multiple user acounts on single computer and licensing

Post by yarger engineering, inc. »

I have two users on one laptop that they share. I installed PDF-XChange Standard on the laptop with one of the user accounts, but it is not available to the other. If I were to install it a second time on the same laptop using the other user account, would it require a second license even though they are on the same laptop?

Hi yarger engineering, inc.,

Thanks for the post - this would require two licenses, as we do not license per machine, but instead license per user.

Hope that helps!

Thank you for the quick reply. I bought a three pack, so I will use two of them for the one laptop, and I guess my secretary goes without for now.

You may want to clarify the one license per user account in your license agreement. I read it several times and couldn't tell.

Hi Brad,

We extend our licenses to allow installation of the software on up to 2 devices for each unique user, so you can have 3 users and install on up to 2 machines for each.

I will bring up adding this to the license agreement with management.

Hope that helps to clarify.

Best,
Chris

We have four employees and five licenses, but three of us share two laptops. On top of that, they are not all the same version. If I think about it enough, and am careful with which license goes where with the laptops, I should be able to it work.

Hey Brad,

that's the way it works - it's up to you to manage that, and I'm sure you'll manage... ;-)
