Question of player edition licensing logistics

Davout_1806 · September 4th, 2015, 09:50 AM

Say I buy a 3 license bundle of the Player edition and I pass them out to my 3 players. Later one of the players, let's call him Bob, leaves the group. A new player, let's call him Mark, joins the group. Can I revoke the license from Bob and give it Mark? Or will it require a purchase of another license?

Thanks.

Each license will be associated with a separate account. Each player will create their own account(?). Once you hand them a license, they will own the license.

The bundle price is a cheap way for players to buy their own licenses, they aren't associated with your account at all.

And once they have the license they can't voluntarily give it up? It's non-transferable?

I have not read the agreement fully but I assume its like the HL license. So no its not really allowed.

The idea is each person buys his/her own license for RW and can use it in one or many different games. Just like a player should buy there own license of Hero Lab and can use it in one to many different games.

My DM does not own my Hero Lab license and I wouldn't want them to own my RW Player License.

The Web version, when it is release, will fill the gap of DMs wanting to share content with players who don't feel the need for all the features of the full player version. My understanding is the if you have a cloud account you can share a limited amount of content with any number of players.

The player will link the license to their player account. Once linked to an account it isn't transferrable.
