Single Key, Multiple Activations vs Multiple Keys, Single Activation

December 27, 2024 2:33:10 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I'd like to purchase a license of Multiplicity 4 Business/Enterprise. But I'm not sure, which option to choose. 

Single Key, Multiple Activations or Multiple Keys, Single Activation?

What is difference betwenn these 2 options? Does this have something to do with promote/demote? 

Is there other differences in functionality?

Thanks

Single Key, Multiple Activations or Multiple Keys, Single Activation?

Single key, multiple activations would mean you have 1 key and can activate multiple Primary PCs with it.  The quantity at purchase would be  how many concurrent activations (Primaries) can be attached to that key.

Multiple keys \ single activation is a single key with 1 concurrent activation associated with it.   The quantity at purches determines how many key are issued.

@basj Thank you 

@sdrohan

Thanks. Sorry, Unfortunately, I still don't understand what exactly the difference is.

The quantity at purchase

Does it mean the quantity of licenses? Or the quantity of PCs, which could be controlled?

The quantity at purches determines how many key are issued. 

I want to purchase only one license (I have already 1 KVM Pro Version 4). But at check out I'm asked to choose one of the options above. 

Why is that important to choose, if I'm buying ONLY one license? 

If I choose "Multiple Keys, Single Activation", will it still be possible to switch between primary and secondary as often as necessary? Sorry for the confusion.

Have a nice weekend!

Because if you purchase Single \ Single, you would not be able to add more concurrent activations (licenses if you will) after.  Single \ Single is generally what resellers purchase.

For Single \ Multiple, post-purchase, if you wanted to add more concurrent activations to a single key, you can, example:

Thank you for your support. I have now the Enterprise-Version and will install it next days.

Should I uninstall Multiplicity 3 first or will it be removed automatically by installing Version 4? What would you recommend?

Installing over (on all) installations should be fine.
