    Did they increase member number, I remembered max 5 users. And every user can have the applications on 5 devices.

    I'm not sure. It's just a very odd licensing to me. 6 people but only 5 devices. And I think "simultaneously" means "installed" but maybe doesn't mean running concurrently. Licensing, the new Rocket-Science/Brain-Surgery. :rolleyes:

      Check out this MS Office365 graphic that shows how many people can use your Office365 (snapshot with highlights[^]). :confused: So 6 people can have it, but only 5 people can simultaneously use it??? :wtf: Rocket Science & Brain Surgery are easy. Licensing, on the other hand...:~

      My reading of the license is that 6 people can use it, and each of those 6 people can be logged in on up to 5 devices simultaneously. I know that my family license for it is normally logged in on anywhere from 10 to 12 devices across 5 different users.

            Oh, ok, that makes a lot more sense. Hahaha...I'm definitely not a Rocket-Scientist/Brain-Surgeon. :laugh:

              #6 is the sys admin. They don't need to use it but only make sure the 5 that can do.

                I suppose you wanted to answer raddevous instead of answering me.

                  That's common with espensive software. The company has X licenses that can be used concurrently by all the authorized employees. I had some nice quality time when the entire customer company was developing an ECU and we couldn't compile because all available GreenHills' licenses were used - even better when the IDE was open but the devs were doing entirely different things, or the devs in otehr timezones set the workstation in sleep (it didn't release the licenses) and went out for their night.

                    I wasn't responding to anyone particular. Just to the idea that license for 6 only allows 5 at once or something like that, In these chains of responses, I never am quite sure how the response order will go or who is responding to whom. I usually name them if that is my response is a particular person.

                      The response will hang to the message where you click "Reply" and the answer to a message is indented one position deeper. Same indentation, same message as parent. It is as you were nesting "If" and "Else ifs"

                        Understood. Makes sense. I just lose track of who I am answering and what level they are. Getting old eyes, I guess. I'll be 76 this year. Thanx for your response.
