I would invite you to reconsider this interpretation of your license agreement.

I can accept it if you wish to make your licenses non-transferrable. That's your right, and in some respects it's reasonable.

But I own multiple PhotoPost Pro licenses myself, and I have been an "influencer" in the purchase of several dozen more. All have been for clubs, churches, alumni associations & other such "organizational entities" who believe (apparently falsely) that the ORGANIZATION owns the software that the ORGANIZATION purchased and paid for.

None of these organizations have any intention of transferring their licenses. But officers, presidents, treasurers, webmasters, etc., come and go.

If you're seriously saying that ALL of these organizations need to re-purchase their software licenses every time they get a new webmaster, a new treasurer, etc. . . . well, that's just absurd. The club bought the software license; the club implemented it. It resides on the club's domain, which remains unchanged. PERSONNEL within the club/association may change over time, but the same entity owns and is using your product.

I'm having a hard time believing that you're serious when you say that only INDIVIDUAL PERSONS may license your product. But if you are, then I need to know this. Because I will be unable to recommend this product any longer if this is true.

If GENERAL MOTORS wanted to purchase 200 PhotoPost licenses, you wouldn't sell them? You'd insist on the NAMES of 200 separate INDIVIDUALS? And you would insist that these INDIVIDUALS owned the licenses, and not GM? Ridiculous. Very bush league.

P.S. -- NOWHERE in this license agreement does it state that a "customer" or a "licensee" must be an INDIVIDUAL PERSON rather than a club, church, neighborhood or alumni association, corporation, etc. In fact you specifically imply that COMPANIES may own PhotoPost licenses:

Your acceptance of this agreement also permits All Enthusiast, Inc. to list your company and/or domain in promotional materials . . .
