license question...

Post by bubbameetze »

We just ordered 4 licenses for our development team. I have installed both the eclipse integration zip version of oxygen as well as the standalone version for windows. We were shipped a single key for the 4 licenses. If I use the key on my standalone as well as the eclipse plug in version does that count as 2 licenses uses?

Hello,

That counts as one license.

The <oXygen/> license is "Named User"-based (see paragraph 1.c from EULA) not computer-based so one purchased license entitles the named user to install and use any distribution of <oXygen/> (standalone, Eclipse plugin, Java Webstart) on any platform (Mac OS X, Windows, UNIX/Linux) with Java 1.4+ installed as long as the named user will use that license (see paragraph 2.3 from EULA).

So for the 4 purchased licenses only the 4 specific users are allowed to use the license key (see paragraph 2.2.a from EULA) but if one of the 4 users leaves the company then another one is allowed to join the other 3 without violating the license terms. This is a FAQ and we will add it to our list of FAQs that will be present on the website in a short time.

You can find the EULA at http://www.oxygenxml.com/eula.html

Best regards,
Sorin
