Our license explicitly permits use on more than one computer, as long 
as that use is primarily by the same person.  With our new activation 
scheme, you will have no problems installing a single user license 
for Stat/Transfer on a reasonable number of computers.  You will, 
however, have problems installing it on all of a department's 
computers, which is precisely the problem we are trying to combat.

If anyone thinks that our activation system is getting in the way of 
what they think is reasonable use of Stat/Transfer, please 
communicate directly with me or with our sales department.

Best,

Steve
