Volume Licensing

A Volume License is an upgrade from a Regular License which is normally purchased within the application.  In accordance with our License, Volume Licensing is always based simply on the number of computers and never on the number of users.  With a Volume License, any user can use the licensed product on a computer which the licensee designates to be in the licensed pool.

Installation Instructions

There are two methods to get License Information installed so that a product will work on the additional computers:

1.  It Just Works Method.  Smarky, Synkmark, Markster and BookMacster write their License Information into every Bookmarkshelf document (.bkmslf file) they save, and will read and remember such License Information, if needed, whenever they open a document.  Therefore, you can install the license on another computer simply by:

• Create a document on the first, licensed computer.
• Copy it via your network to the second computer.
• On the second computer, doubleclick to open the document.

Note that license keys are different among the four apps.  If a document is last saved by, for example, Smarky, the License Information will only be copied when it is opened by Smarky on another computer.

2.  Obvious Method.  Forward the regular order acknowledgement email to all users and instruct people to follow the instructions to install the License Information on their computer.
