*License Notes:
"2-Activations-Option"

This special double license is meant for users who have two computers: for example a desktop PC and laptop, or a Mac and a PC.
The 2-License option allows installation and usage on two Windows PCs and, (when released for MacOS) alternatively on two MacOS computers, or one Windows and one MacOS computer).
The activation of the plug-in requires that both computers are in the same network during the installation of the plug-in. After installation you can use them in any network (or even without network connection).
But it's not possible to activate this license twice on different locations! In this case you need to purchase two individual license keys from a "1-License edition".

May I run the plug-in on multiple Finale versions (on one computer) with one activation?
Yes. The automatic installer installs the plug-in for ALL Finale versions that are registered on a computer - also for other Windows users on that computer. So if you have for example Finale 2014, 2014.5, v25, v26 and v27 installed for two users, then ten instances of the plug-in will be installed in the configuration and plug-in folders of each Finale version. You can run all of these plug-ins at the same time with just one activation (though this may require a very fast computer with lots of cores and memory).

Multiple activations and/or licenses are only required for running the plug-in on multiple computers at the same time. You can, of course, install and uninstall the plug-in as often as you want. So if you only acquired one activation but have two computers, it's still possible (but tedious through lots of installations and deinstallations) to work with the plug-in on two computers.

Please read the FAQ for more info on how to activate the plug-in on multiple computers.

Commercial Usage Allowed

Commercial usage is allowed for all editions, except for student discount editions of Perfect Layout and for files created with the demo.
This means: in case of scores or parts processed with the student edition it is only allowed to distribute scores/parts created with Perfect Layout for free.
But it is not allowed to sell these scores, rent out, get royalties, etc.. Doing so is an infringement of the end user license agreement (EULA).
To make scores created with the student edition available for sale, you need to buy a "Student to Standard Version" update.
