Does Embarcadero RAD Studio XE license allow use on multiple machines?
In the past the Borland "no nonsense" license allowed one developer to do multiple installs.
I'm tempted to upgrade to Embarcadero RAD Studio XE, professional edition, but am worried about licensing restrictions, and whether it will allow me to work in the same way as before.
I downloaded a 30 day trial, and that will only allow one install, so I'm a bit concerned the upgrade would enforce a similar restriction.
I use a small and a large laptop and a PC and would like to install RAD Studio on all 3, as well as in VMs. I've posted a question asking about this on the vendor website, but there's no response yet, and I wonder if people could answer from their own experience please?
I'd also be interested to know if the upgrade will only run if there is an existing installation of an earlier product on the same machine.
Answer
Yes, you can legally install Rad Studio on more than one machine, as long as you are the only user. I'm specifically talking about the named user license.
