>'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.

Dorris,

I think the license is "per developer", not per end user.

I cannot recall that the licensing has ever been anything but this. Even the old FoxBase & FoxBase+ was this way. At that time (1986-88) this was a HUGE advantage as Ashton-Tate sold network license packs in units of 6, which were real trouble to administer.

Best,
