a license copy for each separate client (workstation) | |
on which RAR is installed, used, or accessed. A separate | |
license copy for each client (workstation) is needed regardless | |
of whether the clients (workstations) will use RAR simultaneously | |
or at different times. If for example you wish to have | |
9 different clients (workstations) in your network with access | |
to RAR, you must purchase 9 license copies. | |
