Do ThisFolder utilities work when installed on and run from a central server?
Yes. You must purchase the appropriate multi-user license for more than one user to run the software at the same time. (see below)
If I install ThisFolder utilities so that everyone in my office, company or organization can use them, do I have to buy a multi-user license?
Yes, you should buy a license for as many users as could use the utility simultaneously. For example,
if you install a ThisFolder utility on your office server so that it is simultaneously accessible by 10 different users, you must
purchase a 10-user license. If you install it on a single computer, you can purchase a single-user license.
You may install the software on as many computers
as you like, as long as you have a license for the number of simultaneous users. This means that you can buy a single-user license
and install it on both your home and work computers, as long as no one else but you ever use those computers.
