License Keys

Post by scuzzy »

How does the 5 computer licence work?

On several of my computers I have multiple systems I boot from.

For instance on one computer I have Slackware 14.2 and also Slackware 15.0. One is on my primary SSD drive and the other on my secondary SSD.

I installed Softmaker on both does. Does that count as one or two license uses? Or does it just look at CPU ID or something like that?

Or could I share the /home/user directory and then it would only count as one?

Also I'm about to replace the SSD drive on another computer so I'll have to reinstall everything. After doing a reinstall will that then count as another install?

For different computer hardware, multiple licenses will be consumed but for reinstallation, it will be same license.

I am still not clear on this.

For Example:

Only 1 Computer - that has two SSDs drives. This computer has slackware 14.2 installed on one SSD. The other SSD has slackware 15.0.

I have a Multiple Boot setup on the One computer.

Sometimes I boot to slackware 14.2.
Sometimes I boot to slackware 15.0.

Both have softmaker installed.

Does that count as two or one license installs?

As these are different operating systems running, multiple licenses will be counted, i.e., two in this example.
