Simultaneous Installation
Per the licensing, a single SynthEyes license can be installed and used on a second machine only if all of the following conditions hold:
- You are the actual owner of the SynthEyes license, and each machine on which it is installed, AND
- You are the only user of those machines, AND
- They are being used for the benefit of the same business or person.
So, to cover some of the common pitfalls: you can not install a license onto a shared workstation, and then onto your laptop for field trips; you can not install a company-owned "work license" onto your machine at home or your personal laptop; and you can not install a "Universal" binary onto a PowerMac for one user, and an Intel Mac for another user, or 32-bit for one user and 64-bit for a different user. Similarly, you can not install a single license onto multiple machines, with the assertion "only one person will be using it at a time " — even if that is true or even electronically enforced. In each case, additional licenses are required.
In short, the SynthEyes license is not a floating license, it has been priced corresponding to an individual, so that it is affordable to individual artists. If the license was floating, it would have to be priced several times higher!
Multi-person studios reap the benefits of having a license per seat, instead of a single floating license, whenever a batch of shots must be handled rapidly. Rather than waiting for them to go through a single license, your multiple SynthEyes licenses will allow you to attack them simultaneously.
