Licensing for 2 users one computer

PostMon Apr 21, 2025 5:33 pm

I have a new employee starting and I have one license from myself, do I need purchase another license for the new employee. We will be using the remoting into the same workstation in a collaborative workflow.

No. If you're both using the same computer, the Studio license is tied to that platform. Only when you move to another workstation (or laptop) would you need to use up the 2nd authorization.

Legally, I believe yes.

You need one license per user. That same user can use the license on two machines.


(I hope BMD staff will correct me if that's wrong.)
My Biases:

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.
