Getting WB5-Questions

from WinCustomize Forums
Hey. I just got the free WB5 trial download, and am really enjoying it. However, before I purchase it I have a few questions:

1) I saw on the Stardock website how it says that it will be Vista compatible. I won't have to buy anything else for it to work on Vista, right? If I get WB5, the Vista version will be a free upgrade for me, correct?

2) I want to run this on my desktop and on my laptop...will one copy of WB5 will let me run it on both?

and 3) Could I just keep reinstalling the trial to keep it for as long as I like?

Answers would be appreciated.

Correct

2) I want to run this on my desktop and laptop


As long as you don't use them at the sam time.

3) Could I just keep reinstalling the trial to keep it for as long as I like?


That's stealing and it sucks. You're better than that and it's worth the money.

Also, the trial version supports translucent window borders only on the skins that are supplied with it. To get this effect on other skins, you need to buy WB5...

Alright. How would I not use them at the same time? Sometimes I leave my desktop on and use my laptop.

So long as I can run it on both of my systems without buying two copies I'll get it.

What the basis for this is: don't install it on a home computer and have your spouse/kids/whatever using that computer whilst you have it installed on your laptop and the laptop is being used by someone. Just leaving the computer on and actively using WB on another machine is ok, though.

Does it check over the internet or something? I have dial-up, so I'm not connected on all my machines at once or anything.

So I can only have it installed on one machine? Or only be actively using it on one machine?

And there's no guarantee that if I'm online at my university that my room-mate won't use the computer. What would happen then?

If both machines are your own then you can install on both....

For clarities sake:
From the WB5 EULA:
YOU MAY:
1. Install and use one copy of the SOFTWARE on a single computer.
2. Install a second copy of the SOFTWARE on a second computer only if you are the main user of this computer (home computer or laptop for example).
3. Install the SOFTWARE on another computer only if you change your main workstation. In such a case you must uninstall the software from the old computer.
4. Use the SOFTWARE via a network, only if you have purchased an adequate number of licenses. The number of users must not exceed the number of licenses you have purchased.
5. Make a copy of the SOFTWARE for archival purposes only.
