Multiple Users

[Jeanne G.]

In wanting to be true to licensing requirements -

Does anyone know how the multiple computers on one license is intended to be
used?

i.e. I own a laptop computer and my assistant uses a laptop on another desk
and the 2nd laptop doesn't leave the office, it is my computer for work only.

Does the second computer fall under one user, as I own it and the user is an
employee? Or does each employee, using the computer for only my business,
have to have their own license?

Hi Jeanne -

To me that sounds like two different people, requiring one license each.

The only exception I've seen to this is where a Groove license is assigned
to a 'desk' - ie a a rota of un-named persons who fill a given job. Examples
being a 24 hour emergency notification desk where there's always one person
on call.

Hope this helps.

groove license does indeed allow one license on all 3 machine (up to 5)
but that means the same account on all
same workspaces etc
but then all inputs from any employee will still seem to be submitted by one
person

there is a trick, you could give your people individual identities
and invite them to spaces seperately
that way you will know who has entered some data

this does not contravene groove licensing but like you, we try to understand
the spirit not the letter of the agreement - so ideally groove would like you
to buy seperate licenses for all individuals, unless you genuinely have your
one acnt on multiple machines.

hope this helps
