Licensing question: is it tied to a user, or to a machine ?

[ahndymac]

Hey - I work for a large company and we just acquired a small company (that all used Total Commander) Their development group got new laptops etc. and their old ones got wiped I believe. they wanted to buy new copies, but I wanted to find out what your licensing scheme is - is it tied to a user and they'd be able to use on the new laptop, or is tied to a machine and is now lost.

Please advise.

Cheers,
Andrew

The Help says:

Additional licences (multi-user licences)

Additional licences allow an institution, company or school to install the program on multiple computers or on a server. It must be guaranteed that the program does not run on more machines at the same time than there are licences purchased. All licences are issued to the same (company) name, which appears in the program's title bar. Additional licences cost CHF 20.- for the 2nd to 10th licence, etc. (see additional licences for details). For larger amounts than 1000 please contact the author. Each additional licence also allows a single user to use the program at home.

Total Commander licences are neither tied to the user nor to the computer, but are per user at the same time (floating licence, concurrent use). We can change the name in the key to the new company name if you send us the FULL details of the old and new company by e-mail. You can also buy additional licences if you provide the licence number, this is much less expensive than a new separate licence.
