license question

Extremely easy.

For me, where English is not my first language, it makes sense to think as “I can install 1 license per Xojo installation”.

Again, that’s not clear.
For me, also a non-native english speaker, an “installation” is the fact that Xojo is put inside the “/Applications” folder and can be launched. That still refers to “a machine”, and I doubt the english wording means otherwise.

@Aurelian Negrea Xojo defines “machine” as “installation”. If you have 2 users on the same machine and you want to compile on both, then you need 2 lite license, use Desktop license (with 2 activations) or use 2 of the 3 PRO activations.

To be clear - Xojo licenses are per developer. No one else can use any activations of the your license.

The license is available here for you to refer to anytime here. I have also added this information to the feature comparison chart in the store.

You are correct. I didn’t install again for the second user on my Mac.

I don’t know if there is a 100% clear way to say it without a long explanation. Something like:
Xojo Desktop license includes 2 activations to build applications, you need 1 activation for each computer and user account, for example, 2 computers with 1 user each - 2 activations, 1 computer with 2 user accounts - 2 activations.

[Emile_Schwarz]

The activation is boot related, not hardware (computer) related.

So, install a boot volume in a 1TB (or larger) exernal SSD and boot where you want everywhere) on this SSD.

When I said that I have 2 users on my Mac is not that different person is using my computer, I have a personal profile and a work profile. Sorry if that was misunderstood by my post.

@Dana Brown the linked page needs a little editing, after the “With the understanding that:” I see the first and second bullet point with the same information and bullet point 5 is missing the first letter “Y”

I figured that, but I just wanted to be clear in case I was wrong.

@Dana Brown thank you for updating the page, one more little thing, can you change:

A Xojo License Key is required to save a project in Text or XML formats.

to

A Xojo License Key is required to save a project in Text or XML formats (Lite Version only saves in Binary format).

Thanks Dana, I was in the same position as Alberto, I have a User account for work and another one for personal so theoretically it is same pc same user but let’s say different environments . so I guess your Computer definition is 1 Hardware pc and one single user for that pc so in the end it’s more a user license than a pc license, now it’s more clear.
Thanks.
