Hi everyone,
I am wishing to purchase the Torque Game Engine SDK "Indie" License. How many computers may I install the softare onto? I have a desktop and a laptop I would like to use for development. I attempted to look this up on the site and the forum but I did not see the answer.
Thanks for your help!

If you have 100 computers, you can install it. But no one else can have source-level access to the engine.

Can anyone from GG shed official light on this?

"source-level"? So can multiple programmers work on scripts?Can anyone from GG shed official light on this?

But as i understand it,
yes, an unlimited number of people can work on scripts,
but each person who has access to the engine source (C++) must have their own indie license.

The EULA is really not that complicated a document, go ahead and read it.But as i understand it,

Yup. Orion is correct.

If a team member is doing scripting only (modding the engine with NO access to the source code) they do not need a license. This is the same as downloading our free FPS demo and modding it without purchasing the source.

From the TGE EULA:Quote:The TGE Indie Game License fee for the Engine is $100 per each programmer using or accessing the source code to the Game(s).

When I installed the game engine onto this new computer the engine will open but quits whenever I open the world editor. Anyone got a possible fix for this one?

Tiznyler, this is not a permission problem. I would suggest posting your problem in the Mac forums of this site.Nick

Torque Game Engine has no built-in validation like that.
