The short answer is no.

The long answer is our prices are based on our standard EULA, and you are asking for a custom license. Most commonly, your institution wants to change the jurisdiction and allow for license transfer rights. For jursidiction changes, we would need to hire legal counsel in that jurisdiction to review the custom license and retain them specifically for you. License transferal is a reseller right, and we must do our due diligence to protect and compensate iChemLabs if you sell/transfer our licenses or support. Our prices would change accordingly to provide you with these additional rights, and those costs are usually significant. You will be responsible for paying for any legal review of the custom license in advance.

Most customers accept the standard EULA.

Every license can be activated twice, so you may activate on up to two (2) computers. This allows you (the registered user) to use our software on two (2) computers at the same time. For more than two (2) computers at the same time, you will need to purchase additional licenses.

If you have run out of activations on your license, you may reset your license code here: License Reset
