A Volume License is always an upgrade from a Basic License which is normally purchased within the application. In accordance with our License, Volume Licensing is always based simply on the number of computers and never on the number of users. With a Volume License, any user can use the licensed product on a computer which the licensee designates to be in the licensed pool.

Installation Instructions
There are two methods to get a product working on all the computers:
1. Obvious Method. Forward the Basic order acknowledgement email to all users and instruct people to follow the instructions to install the License Information on their computer.
2. Slightly More Efficient Method. On the first computer, with the License Information installed, check the box "Make available to all user accounts on this computer." This will create a file in the system-wide preferences such as, for examples:
/Library/Preferences/com.sheepsystems.bookdog.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.sheepsystems.bookmacster.plist
(Note that there is no tilde (~) prefix; this is not in the Home folder.) This file contains only the License Information. Copy this file to the same location (in the system-wide preferences) on all the other computers. (Note: You must copy the actual file; an alias to a file on a central server will not work).
