Multiple Users on One Computer
Dragon NaturallySpeaking is licensed on a “per individual” basis. You are permitted to install the software on more than one computer (for example, on a desktop and a laptop computer, or on a work computer and a home computer). Although you may not use the software concurrently on more than one computer, you are permitted to create multiple voice profiles, so long as each voice profile is for you. If someone else wishes to create or use another voice profile, however, that person must purchase a separate licence for Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
