Two license questions
Post by Brausepaul »
Hi,
I'm in need of an answer about a licensing issues. Currently I don't own a Oxygen license but I'm thinking of getting one after having tried this great program. Currently I'm a high school student and I'll most probaby graduate in August / September this year. Technically I qualify for an Academic/Home edition license.
1) Now the first problem: my curriculum requires me to have an internship during the last semester and that's what I'm doing right now, e. g. I signed a contract as an intern and work for a company. The research I'm doing will be the basis for my graduation thesis.
So, if I had an Academic/Home Edition license, installed in on my (personal) laptop and took it with me to work for my research, would I violate the license?
2) Somehow related: if I owned a license, is it okay to install Oxygen on my desktop PC at home in addition to my laptop installation?
Thanks in advance

Re: Two license questions
This is a difficult question . The idea is if you are payed for the work you do with oXygen or if you sell what you do with oXygen then you need a professional license. Otherwise the academic license is ok.Brausepaul wrote: 1) Now the first problem: my curriculum requires me to have an internship during the last semester and that's what I'm doing right now, e. g.

Yes. The license is user based so you can use it on both machines. The license also covers all the distributions (standalone and Eclipse plugin) on any platform.Brausepaul wrote: 2) Somehow related: if I owned a license, is it okay to install Oxygen on my desktop PC at home in addition to my laptop installation?

Hi george,
thank you for your answer, at least question two is fully answered. To give more info about the first issue: the software I develop (or to be more precise: the software my research is focused on) is not to be sold, it's for the company's inhouse usage. I'm afraid the fact that there is no real "sale" of the developed software is irrelevant here.
My payment is marginal by the way, it covers my expenses to get to work more or less (since it's an internship, not a real job). Could you give my any advice on who to contact to get a definitive answer?
