on any number of computers. Licensing of the RGS Sender on Windows and Linux is described in the HP Remote
Graphics Software Licensing Guide, available at www.hp.com/support/rgs_manuals. Note that Sender licensing is
checked when an RGS connection is established; therefore, the licensing mechanism has no affect on downloading
