License model of final version? (user or machine)

Hi,

I've installed SQL Prompt on a server which is often used via Remote Desktop from other colleagues, too.

Since installation they all complain about the "nag" screen telling them they have only x days left of their evaluation period (some of them don't even know what a SQL-Sever is... ;-). This is currently not a problem as I can move SQL Prompt from the "All Users" Startup to my personal Startup folder, BUT:

It seems that SQL Prompt has the same evaluation period on all user profiles. What happens if it's a licensed version? Does every remote User use my license?

Another license-Question: I'm working on some SQL-Servers distributed all over the world. Usually it's quite faster to work remotely (via Remote Desktop) on this machines. So I'd need to install SQL Prompt on let's say 6 machines worldwide.
As it's (currently) only me working with SQL Prompt I'd appreciate to have to buy only one license but being allowed to install it on multiple machines (under my account). In my opinion this shouldn't make a problem as I'm usually working on one machine at a time only.

What license model will be used in the final version?

Cheers,
Martin

    Legally, it will be licensed per user. If you're using multiple machines for yourself, then you only need to purchase one licence.

    Thanks for the answer. That's what I expected.

    But what happens if another user loggs on to a machine (with his user account) where my licensed SQLPrompt is installed?
    Currently it seems that his evaluation period ends the same day as mine, so the same (evaluation) "license" is used for all users on a machine. Is this only for the evaluation license or does he use my license later, too?

    Thanks In Advance,
    Martin
