a) per-developer license (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 developers)
This license type entitles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 developers and/or build machine, of the same organization at a single physical address to write software with access to GdPicture.NET.
Please see paragraphs 5.3. and 5.4. below for further explanations and examples.
