<p class="Help-Text">The Manage My License area allows you to view and print the Point of Sale license agreement, purchase additional user licenses, and to synchronize your in-product license information with the license data Intuit has stored for you. The latter could become necessary if you have re-installed Point of Sale on new computers.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">Up to ten licenses can be used within a single store, running any one level of Point of Sale (Free, Basic, Pro). Use this procedure to buy additional licenses at your current level. If you want to unlock to a higher level of Point of Sale instead, read the <a href="help_unlock.htm">unlock</a> topic.</p>

<p><span class="hcp3">Answer</span>: It depends on how you want to use the workstations.</p>
<ul style="list-style: disc;">
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">To use all three workstations at the same time requires three user licenses, one for each workstation.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">To use only one or two workstations at the same time, requires either one or two user licenses, respectively. You need as many user licenses as you have workstations simultaneously running Point of Sale.</p>

<p class="Help-Bulleted">The Server Workstation acts as the license manager, checking in and out available user licenses to all networked workstations. The Server Workstation must always be turned on, but not necessarily running Point of Sale, for other workstations to access a license and your Point of Sale data.</p>
