Just a word of advice, if you are the type that do a lot of Beta testing,
or
constently redoing your computer, call Freedom and ask to get a Dongle as
this will never expir. I use mine a lot. And it cuts down on
reactivation
if you always changing software.

Frank,
I don't want to encourage laxness about this license question. However,
I'm
confident FS finds it acceptable for a purchaser to use the same license
to
run a desktop and laptop. By analogy with fair use in copyright law, a
manufacturer must allow you to use the license for your personal purposes.
If that happens to encompass two computers, one for home and the other for
travel, so be it. The assumption is that if you use the same license for
several computers, not just two, the purpose must be to have more than one
user.
As has been pointed out in this thread, FS issues three activations at
once,
but the company usually issues new activations upon request. I interpret
these two facts together as permitting a licensee to use up to three
computers.
We should all re-read the license agreement, but I can't take the time
just
now. Because you're conscientiously using two licenses, you have nothing
to
lose by contacting FS directly and getting clarification.

Chris, thanks for the reply. Now I am even more confused than ever. For my
personal computers I have a separate license for the desktop and laptop. I
was under the impression that the initial 3 intalls were to replace an
existing install if something goes wrong. For example I just had to
reformat
the laptop and I will have to reinstall JFW., and I may have to do it once
more in about a week as the project I am working on will probably require
another reformat; but it will be on the same machine. Frank

I've taken the note to change the subject to be more rellevent.
Technically
you are correct, however, they do give you 3 activations, so, I guess, in
theory, it could go on any 3 systems. I certainly wouldn't give one a them
to a friend and pyrot it, that's not what I'm sayin by any means, but, if
you're installing it on 3 a your own systems, then, yeah, I guess
theoretically you should be getting another license, but, then again, not
really. I guess it just depends on how finaky you are about that sort a
thing. Me personally? I have my same key on both my desktop and on my
laptop.
Chris.

Hi all, can anyone shed some light on a JFW U.S.A. license question that
has
come up in speaking with a friend of mine. I was always under the
impression
that if you had one license then you could install it on only one
computer.
Is that correct information? I always thought that was the case but a
buddy
of mine insists it is not. This isn't merely a rethorical question as I
just
set up a laptop for a client of mine and I advised them purchase an
additional license of JFW. Did I waste their money? If so should I
reimburse
them out of my own pocket? Frank
