Ummmmm, as far as I'm able to see, this quote only refers to certain products.

"PRIVATE AND BUSINESS USERS OF AFTERSHOT, COREL CAPTURE, COREL CONNECT, COREL WEBSITE CREATOR, CORELDRAW, COREL DESIGNER, CORELCAD, COREL OFFICE, COREL PAINTER, COREL PDF FUSION, PAINTSHOP PRO, PAINTSHOP PHOTO PRO, PARADOX, COREL PHOTO-PAINT, PRESENTATIONS, QUATTRO PRO, AND WORDPERFECT THAT HAVE MULTIPLE COMPUTING DEVICES (E.G., STAND-ALONE COMPUTER, LAP-TOP AND MINI/PORTABLE PC), MAY DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL ANY OF THESE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS ON UP TO THREE (3) SYSTEMS IN A SINGLE ADDRESS, ..."

Video Studio isn't among them.

Thank you, for every comment. I had read EULA but I don't sure, I can install more than 1 computer per license.

Hi

Clearly there does seem to be some confusion here.
I have always thought that Video Studio could be installed on three pc’s.

Some clarification from Corel is needed, I will see what I can find?

... I have always thought that Video Studio could be installed on three pc’s...

I'll be the happiest guy in the world if you're right and I'm wrong.

Thanks for your help.

Hi all

Unfortunately Joe it does seem as though you are correct………….

EULA update

After approached Corel for their comments re installing Video Studio we received this reply.

Quote :-
I checked with our legal about this issue.
Based on our 3rd party license agreement, if we claimed to allow users to install 3 times, then we have to pay the royalty 3 times. That is why we can’t mention VideoStudio in the product list.

Thanks,
Yvonne

I have to repeat that we have always thought it posible to install on 3 machines.
Clearly this is not the case and Video Studio can only be installed on a single machine.
I can only suggest we all read the EULA.

Although Yvonne does not say so, the royalty payments to which she refers are, I'm pretty sure, to Dolby for the use of their audio codec.

I suppose it might be interesting from an historical point of view to go back to the Ulead EULA from before the advent of Dolby in Video Studio (which started IIRC with VS8). I was quite certain at that time (I started with VS7) that you could load on 3 machines. With VS8, indeed, we had to pay an extra $30 to even get the Dolby codec. From VS9 onwards, it came as part of the package. But when Corel took over Ulead with VS11, I think it was, the EULA may have been changed - if not by Ulead with VS9.

Pity, but there we are. So watch out for the EULA police!!
