A dBASE licence is issued in respect of a specific user and is not
transferable.  This means that if I no longer need my copy of dBASE I
can't legally give or sell it to anyone else.

A dBASE user may install a licenced copy of dBASE on more than one
machine, say a desktop computer and a laptop, but may only use one
machine at any given time.

Each dBASE licence makes provision for being installed a limited number
of times.  This is to allow for computer upgrades or hardrive rebuilds.

In the past when I have exceeded the permitted number of installs a
quick email to Customer Service, as Ken has suggested, resolved the
issue.  Whether they will be quite so accommodating where you have
installed the program on 5 computers is, however, a different matter.
