I want to make sure I understand before registering.
I am using vDos to run an old dBase IV program. I am working out the kinks on my PC but when ready will also be installing it on another PC in my small office. So eventually there will be 2 users. I am thinking of registering myself now and the other user later. I think the user registration is tied to the Windows Username and that as lng as the Windows Username stays the same I can move the license file to a new PC and/or new version of windows. Correct?

Correct. You would get a small license text file (license.txt). In it one or more Windows usernames are declared.
vDos will try to open license.txt and check if the Windows username is declared in there.
The license file is valid for all vDos and Windows versions. No further requirements, so transferring vDos registration is a mere copy of the license file.

We have two users, each with their own computers: Jerry and Alex. Alex works the reception desk computer. If Alex quits and I hire Harry, I will create a new profile for Harry on the reception desk computer. Do I need to buy a new license each time a user gets replaces and they get their own login and Windows profile? Jerry

Occasionally I get the notice a registered user name or server name/address has changed. The latter is most often. So far I then supplied a new license file. Only with strong indications it’s fishy, I would have reservations to do that for free.

In our case, the computer name would not change, just the username (the Windows Profile username). Registering against the %computername% would work well for us. Thanks!

Sorry, but the computer name is not a registration option.
