Activation question

[Phoenix12387]

Hi,
As I understand I can install it in business for light use (read excel files) how to automate the software registration? Not having each user activating individually ? Is it possible to automate this or have an activation for multiple users

Thank you

I believe the licensing agreement for FreeOffice says it is free for ONE user, and that one user can install the software on up to three computers/devices. That one individual is allowed to use his/her copy of FreeOffice for commercial purposes, but FreeOffice is not intended for corporate-wide deployment.

We offer multi-seat licenses with one product key for multiple users for our commercial versions SoftMaker Office and FlexiPDF only. There are mechanisms (GPO) to distribute one key across a network installation.

As a commercial FreeOffice user, you need to request separate product keys for each computer, and there is no automation available.
