License question
I'm currently using a five seat license for WSA Essentials. As I've decided I want to carry on using WSA after my year is up, can I now purchase another five seat license, but not activate it until my current license expires?

I do not believe so, but@ wrote:
So, am I allowed to install a three seat license on to four Windows installations, as only three can be used at any given time?

I am pretty sure that will require 4 license seats, so you would need another copy OR an upgrade to WSA-Complete and its 5 user seats :)
HTH,

Ah, so one seat per OS; this is an elegant way to explain it. Seems I can't do what I was wanting to do. Thanks for the help 😃@ wrote:

Well if you did try it would show 2 OS's on the Online Console even though 1 Computer. Prevx was the same way 1 seat per OS as most users don't use Dual Boot I did until I went to VM's.

Just to clarify, the dual boot is for mine and my wife's copies of Windows 7. I set it up this way to avoid the shared settings between certain programs. Feels cleaner somehow.@ wrote:

It's still 2 installs on the same Computer! At one time it didn't matter how many Clones I had as they all the same ID but in one one the updates in the 2012 stopped it from using Clones. Maybe someone from Webroot can supply more info!

Oh I agree - was just providing a bit of info as to why I have a dual boot setup. it certainly does seem that I won't be able to do what I'm wanting to going by the "one seat per OS" guideline.@ wrote:
