SoftMaker Office 2016 for Linux
« on: December 16, 2015, 07:47 AM »
SoftMaker released the 2016 version of their office suite for Linux the other day :Thmbsup:.

But no good news without a little complaining :-[ - I am using Linux more and more for testing and development, and I had a SoftMaker Office license valid for three PCs, so this sounded great. But it seems when you buy a Windows license, that is valid for three Windows installs, and a Linux license is valid for three Linux installs. So apparently I have to buy two licenses (totalling six installs) to install on two machines? :huh:

Also, Load and Help 2015 has launched.
