float license question

Hi 

I want to know, if I purchase float license, How many computers could work with it ? it means how many testcomplete workstation can we have ? is it limited or no, we can have testcomplete in all company's computer? if there is limitation, what is the maximum number ?

another question is , if I purchase float license, Could I run distributed testing, or I must to purchase Test Execute?

thanks

    If you want 5 concurrent, then you need 5 licenses.

     

    You're still buying seats. Simply of the floating license type ....

    When you buy a floating license, you buy it for a number of "seats".

     

    So if you bought 3 on a floating license, 3 people can use TestComplete simultaneously. I'm pretty sure you could install it on 10 different machines, but only 3 could be in use at any given time.

     

    TestExecute works exactly the same way.

     

    Pretty standard licensing setup really.

     

    You don't *have* to use TestExecute for distributed testing. But it would be a lot cheaper to buy a bunch of TE licenses than it would TC ones ....

      thanks for your answer, but, still I do't understand  if I want to work on 5 computers concurrent It is enough to buy one float license (2500$+1998$) or I should buy (5*(2500$+1998$))?
