Hi Andrew

When you purchase a license at Opera Software AS, you’ll get one
(1) license for one (1) copy of Opera. This license is
transportable, and is neither version specific in Opera v3.x, nor
is it specific to Windows for Workgroups 3.1x/Windows NT
3.51/Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows NT 4.0.

If you want to use the same license on two (or more) different
PC’s, for instance your computer at work and your home PC, you may
do so if the license is not in use on both computers at the same
time.

You will, however, have to purchase a new license in order to be
able to use the Unix/Linux, BeOS, Amiga or OS/2 version(s) of
Opera. This is because for all intents and purposes, these programs
are written from scratch, and as such present a major investement
for us.

When upgrading to Opera v4.0, we offer registered users a 50%
discount.
