Home Use Licensing was provided to customers to support access to a single license from two computers, to support non-concurrent office and home use of the software.

Prior to the release of our V26 licensing models, Home Use License access was provided via the issuing of two license keys: one for office use and one for use on a second (at home) computer.  

Home Use Licensing was provided for standalone (single user) and network (multi user) licenses.

Cloud Licenses and Home Use Access

The benefits of Home Use access is now provided via our Cloud license models:  

  • A Single User Cloud License can be activated on up to two computers at a time, with one in use at any given moment. 
  • A Multi User Cloud License can be activated on any number of computers, with concurrent access limited to the total number of available licenses

The pricing of new cloud licenses matches the pricing of our traditional license offerings.  If you have active subscriptions/maintenance you can switch to cloud at no cost.

What Happens to my Current Home Use Licenses?

Existing Home Use licenses will continue to function but will not be renewed.  New Home Use Licenses will no longer be issued for traditional computer-bound and on-premise license models.

Home use functionality is now provided via Cloud licensing. To enable Home Use benefits you can transition to a Cloud License, at no cost. Make the switch today.
