I'm interested in acquiring (an) additional licence(s) for multiple employee(s). Even if those employee(s) are half the world away and will be using the software on their home computer, I'd like the licence to remain the "property of the company." Could you please provide more information or a solution regarding multiple licences, etc?
Thanks in advance |

If you purchase what we term "secondary licenses", all secondary licenses are associated with the same email address as the primary license. Since our products are targeted at consumers instead of businesses, we don't have anything specially setup for your needs. However, I'll outline how you could utilize our licensing mechanism to achieve what I think is a reasonable solution. If you purchased a license for an employee named John, you could assign that license an email address associated with your company (e.g. john@company.com). If John left the company, he could theoretically change the email address associated with the license to his personal email address. However, you could contact us and have it changed to a different email address of your choice (e.g. paul@company.com). We use the name associated with the license as the final arbiter of who "controls" the license. So, if you want the ability to retract the license from one employee and assign it to another, the important detail would be for *you* to purchase the license for each employee in *your* name. That way, if John left the company tried to argue with us that the license was actually his, we'd see that the name on the account is actually yours and would honor your wishes regarding how the license assignment is handled. It's not a perfect solution, such as would be possible with most business software, but it's workable. And it's significantly better than simply having a standalone license number that, once issued, is pretty much impossible to withdraw from an employee. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions about how this would work. |
