Re: Installing RDi on a new laptop

My understanding (after asking the same question a while back) is you may load the software on multiple devices, so long as only you are using them, so in effect it it licensed to a user, not the device. Presumably you can only use one device at a time?

Hello all,

I have what I'm sure is a very basic question. I have RDi on my work
laptop and have just been upgraded to a new laptop. I'd like to install it
on the new machine but I'm not really sure how the licensing would work for
doing that. We have two licenses. I guess I basically want to open the
license that I'm using back up and then "reacquire" it somehow on the other
machine. We have another developer here who hasn't had it installed at all
yet and I don't want to end up somehow using the second license that is
meant for her. Thoughts? Thanks very much.

Bill, I asked that same question to Ms Alison Butterill, Program Director,
Product Management, IBM i, IBM Power, and this was her reply

The intent in both cases is the same - allow one authorized user to use the

RDi entitlement to accomplish their development goals. One programmer can
use this same entitlement on multiple workstations (PCs, Mac, whatever)
against whatever number of servers.

Summary is that one entitlement = one programmer.

Does that help?

So you should be good to go, right?!
