utthan Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Hi @Gabriel, I had purchased a couple of licenses. Have installed on a few systems. How do I check which license is used & which is available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the licensee, a single licence covers you for both commercial and personal use of the app on multiple computers owned and controlled by you. You would need to use an additional licence if you wanted to install a copy of the app on a single computer for commercial use by multiple employees or household members.

That's a good question, but if anything more than personal use comes into it (i.e., commercial or education) that paraphrasing of the EULA is a bit lacking in the fine-print details and I'd suggest the OP read the actual EULA Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an old story about IBM employees finding that a particular shareware program was very useful and it ended up being installed on every PC in the company - rather than risk being sued, IBM bought millions of dollars worth of licenses. The story's probably apocryphal, but checking that all our PC software was properly licensed suddenly became a very hot topic! In this case, I just assumed that @utthan was making sure that the books were in order. Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That aside, I also see that I wrote “owned and controlled” rather than “owned or controlled”, and I do agree that the OP should read the actual EULA rather than relying on paraphrasis by me or anyone else. 19 minutes ago, IanSG said: The story's probably apocryphal The mere fact of a story being apocryphal doesn’t necessarily mean that it isn’t true! walt.farrell 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
