Ready! API licensing Issue when installed on shared laptop

Hi.  We have one Ready! API license.  We are a small team and we are just getting into web services.  We have the software and license loaded on a the team laptop.  The team laptop is a backup laptop that we use when one of us has laptop issues or when we need to perform a specific task like generating documentation or performing WS testing.  When I log into the team laptop using my credentials I have no problems using Ready! API or Soap UI NG.  When other users log in to the team laptop and try to use Ready! API they get the error message "No valid license found. Do you want to buy or install a license?".  I appears that the license is for a specific user+device.  Is that true?  We would like each team member to use their own login on the team laptop when accessing Ready! API.  Is that possible?

Thank you,

Angie

    A fixed license is only valid for one user/one device. The other users would need their own licenses in order to use the product.

      just a thought, maybe a floating license could be an option in this situation?
