Single Registration or Site License?

A very common question, with a very simple answer.

A Single Registration allows you to install one copy of the program on one computer. A Site License allows you to install the program on multiple computers AT ONE SITE- multiple computers under one roof, usually connected by a network.

That means if you have more than one location (restaurant, store, etc.), you will have to purchase a single registration for each location.

But wait! There is an exception to this rule: If you schedule at work, but would also like to schedule at home on a laptop or home computer, you may do so under a Single Registration. How do you do this? Just create a backup of your database at work onto a USB Flash Drive, and restore the database onto your laptop or home computer, or vice versa.

If you have any questions about program licensing, please reply to this post, we welcome your comments!
