#Software Licensing
I have some questions about the licensing legalities of using CorelDraw.
I work for a manufacturer of printer products in the Technical support
department. I have purchased a copy of CorelDraw 3.0 and an upgrade package of
CorelDraw 4.0 What I would like to do is to install CorelDraw 3.0 and or 4.0
on our department network file server. From here each engineer could run it in
the department when needed. We would only be using it to fault find and
re-create problems which customers have reported to us when they use CorelDraw
and our printers.
If the department people run it from the server, although only one person will
be using it at any one time, there will be copies of all the fonts and .ini
files etc. on several PC's in the department. Would we be breaking any
licensing laws ?
I have inquired at our local dealer and they tell me that there is no network
version and that I cannot buy individual licences here in the UK. Surely I do
not have to purchase a copy for each engineer who may only use it a very few
times per year ?
I have tried asking my local dealer but they seem a little unclear and have
sugested that I contact CorelDraw myself.
