Troubleshooting

Question

     I don't want to deactivate the other computer because we need 2 systems running. Doesn't that mean that I must repurchase another license, or is there another option?

Answer

     QODBC is licensed to each computer. When you purchase a single-user license, you are licensed to use the product on one computer only. If you need to run two computers, you need to purchase another copy.  For contact information, click here.
