Free or not

[tpadgett]

I would like to have this on all of the workstations in my office- over 50.
According to the End User License Agreement- the software is not free? One section states that I can load one copy to one computer and is followed by "if intended to store, load, install and execute on multiple computers, you need serparate desktop licences for each computer." And refers to a registration key. Would I be in compliance or not? Am I the only person that A) reads the EULA and/or B) Is confused by the verbage.

Please help:-)

doPDF is free, and I don't know where you read that in the license agreement - maybe you got an earlier version where the EULA was not correctly written. Anyway, here's the license agreement for doPDF, you can see in the first point directly that there's no restriction:
