Multiplatform Revolution

[David Burgun]

Hi,

Here's a question of my own on the subject. If we have 2 licenses one 
for Mac and one for Windows, is it ok for 2 developers to use the Mac 
version at the same time as long as they are not using the Windows 
version at EXACTLY the same time?? Or Vice Versa!

Thanks
Dave
