SeeYou Single Person License

Does a SeeYou license key work on a different computer
anyway? When I bought a laptop I couldn't get my
desktop SeeYou key to work on it and bought a second
license.

Code does not allow for single user restraints down
to a specific user, it
only allows for constrains as to the quantity of users.
For the legal types
out there, what is the legality of designating a license
to a specific
person?


Jim,

This type of license conforms with US law as well as
with European law.
Caveat - I'm not a US lawyer, but am Professor of Electronic
Commerce
Law in London and know enough US federal law (which
is primarily what is
involved here) to be sure of my statement. You might
find some loophole
in your State consumer law, but not in the Uniform
Commercial Code.

Put yourself in the position of Naviter, trying to
service a tiny world
market, and ask if they could control transferrable
licenses well enough
to stay in business.

So I'd say that both the legality and morality are
on their side, not yours.
