3. What does it mean by per user per license in your price list? How to calculate the total amount?
The number of user means the concurrent users who run a specific Foxit product. If more attempted users than licensed ones run a specific Foxit product at the same time, some of them will get an evaluation warning. The more licenses you purchase, the more discount you will get. For example, if you have 5 users running Foxit PDF Editor simultaneously, you have to buy 5 licenses for Foxit PDF Editor, the total amount for you will be US$89*5=445.

4. How much shall I pay for the upgrade of Foxit products? In what condition shall I pay for the upgrade?
If you purchase a Foxit product, you will be entitled free upgrade of this product within one year after the purchase date. After one year, you may purchase upgraded product with 50% discount. For example, you may upgrade to new version of Foxit PDF Editor at US$49, which is 50% of the listing price, US$99, for first-time buyers. When you order an upgrade, you need to fill in the online form with your original serial number of Foxit products for the upgrading after free one-year service, e.g. the price for the upgrading of Foxit PDF Editor is US$49 per user. Please remember that your existing SN has to be filled in your online order form for the verification need.

5. Do I have to buy two licenses if I want to use a Foxit prouct on two of my computers, one home PC and the other laptop?
No, actually you can buy only one license. What you need to notice is that you have to close it in one computer before running it in another PC.

6. Do I have to buy extra licenses if the attempted users are more than stipulated ones listed on the pricing list?
Yes, you do. If the attempted users are more than stipulated ones listed online, some of users will get evaluation marks posted on the page.
