Is this from the VFP8 License agreement, Alan?

Granted, I'm not a lawyer, but I have a lot of trouble seeing how that paragraph can be read any other way. What you are implying is a further clause that would say "on another computer." But that clause just isn't there.

I certainly agree that they likely meant differently. After all, I used the VS6 to qualify for the upgrade to VFP7 and I sure can't see not being able to use VS6 just because of that.
I sure hope that something more legally binding is said/done to fix this.
