'Fraid not. Way back when, you could buy either a single user copy of Fox (both FoxBASE+ and FoxPro) OR you could buy the network version (for a little extra). But when you bought the network version, it didn't care how many developers were using it.

Our software librarians have always been rather specific (read: anal) about licenses here and VFP 3 was installed on the network for any/all of us to use, and AFAIK, there wasn't a separate per seat fee. When we bought VFP 6.0, it was the same way. To my knowledge, Fox has never been sold on a per seat basis, but when it got rolled into VS, people started assuming that Fox was per seat.


>AFAIK, it's always been that way. You need a licensed copy per developer, but you do not need a license to distribute the runtimes.
