Licensing Scenarios

I have 5 developers and to use the C# generated from the Liquid XML product. Each developer in the team will need to have the generated code (and associated redists) on their machines.
 - You would need to purchase 5 Standard Licenses.

I have 15 Developers split over 3 sites, they all need to use the java code generated from the Liquid XML Product.
  - You would purchase 15 Standard Licenses.

I have 15 Developers, 5 of which work on Solaris and need to use the C++ code generated by the Liquid XML Product. They also need to re-compile the redistributable libraries for Solaris. The remaining 10 developers are on windows, and need to use C++ code generated by the Liquid Xml Product.
  - You would need 5 Professional Licenses. This allow the Solaris developers to use the generated code and to license the source code for the redistributable. This is required to re-compile the runtimes on unsupported platforms (i.e. Solaris).
 - A further 10 Standard License are required for the Windows team.
 - Note depending on numbers, it may be cheaper to purchase Professional licenses for the Windows team as well.
