Single or Multiple keys?

When ordering you have the possibility to choose to receive a single key to be used on Multiple Computers (MC) or multiple keys each of them to be used on a Single Computer (SC). The only difference between them is in the number of registration keys received (and the time it takes to receive those). For example, if you decide to purchase 100 licenses and you choose Multiple Computers when ordering, you will pay for 100 licenses but you will receive a single registration key valid for 100 computers. On the other hand, if you choose Single Computer, you will receive 100 distinct registration keys.

On both these licensing options the Backup4all functionality is the same. A single key for Multiple Computers is a method preferred by medium and large organizations where managing hundreds of registration keys is not an option. Multiple keys each for a Single Computer is preferred by home users and small organizations. As a note, when ordering multiple keys each one to be used on a Single Computer, the registration keys are delivered immediately after the payment is processed, while for Multiple Computers, receiving the registration key might take up to two days (they are processed manually).
