Licensing question

by Joshua Dallman · in Artist Corner · 01/21/2005 (5:22 pm) · 3 replies

Can I purchase multiple copies of Show Tool Pro logged into GG with my own account? One copy would be for me, each other copy would be for other people (to own).

At this time you cannot. The current web purchasing pages have no capability for assigning licenses to other users. In the past, my team has "authorized" purchases for various team members, who perform the purchase themselves, and then get a check in the mail for reimbursment--not so bad for a small (2-3) team, but it becomes a bit more overhead when you have 8+ members.

GG is aware of the need for "team purchase" of licenses, and I understand they are working on a couple of different solutions, but no ETA at the moment!

Greetings!

Stephen is correct. What I'd recommend is writing Josh and Jay an email letting them know that you're interested in obtaining multiple copies.

There are other tools coming down the pipe where I can see parts or all of a team wanting access to them, so I'm sure this will get worked out at some point.

I'll just give them the $35 and hope they spend it where they're supposed to :)
