Hi.

I am considering purchacing TDS-3 for our institute. However we have a number of computers that are not used for long periods of time sometimes and it wouldn't be cost effective to purchace a licence for all of them. Therefore I want to know the differences between regular and roving licences.

As I understand roving licence allows you to use the program on any number of machines if you delete it before you install it on another machine. OK.. that I understand.

However what are the restrictions on a regular licence then? Usually it is allowed to install a program on another computer anyways, if I delete it from another one beforehand? Or is this not allowed? And if not then why? I am still using only 1 program at a time? Its not even installed on several machines?

Thanks in advance,
Alphard

Hi Alphard, The roving licence is more for technicians that need to use TDS3 as part of their diagnostic tools.
A home licence can be used on any one home machine but you would need to uninstall from one home machine before installing on another.

Thanks for the quick reply.

So if I understand this correctly:

It is allowed to use a normal licence if i say.. intend to create a script that will run TDS-3 on a subnet of machines. -> installing it, copying updated database file, running scan, uninstalling it, going on to next machine.

I realise this might look funny to some of u guys but im from an educational facility in a not so very well off country and we just cannot afford numerous licences but we still need protection.
