License Question: Situation with multiply VMs

sunlex · Post by *sunlex » 2017-10-26, 13:20 UTC

Hello!

There is a situation in our company - we installed several Virtual Machines with Windows. All theses VMs are logged under one shared account, let's called it 'Tester'.
On each of these VMs we run test scripts, configure some settings etc. And we need to use TC for these purposes on each VM.
Several people should work with these VMs.

Question, should we install separate TC (with separate license) for each user. Or we could buy e.g. one license for user 'Tester' and install it on all VMs?

PS Our company already bought multi-users license(s).

It's up to you which key you use - as long as you have enough licenses, it's OK to just re-use the same key.

Total Commander licenses are per user at the same time (concurrent use, floating license). Usage by the same user on multiple computers or VMs at the same time only counts as one license. For example, if you use TC on your desktop, notebook, and 10 different VMs, it still counts as only one license.
