A DISLIN Campus license means that you can install DISLIN on all computers of an institute. This is typically the computer center of an university or a single institute of an university. An additional pool of licenses can be ordered at low charge for passing DISLIN licenses to students, teachers and employee of the institute for using DISLIN outside of the institute (i.e. on a private PC).
Yes, a DISLIN license can be applied to a business. There are no differences between DISLIN licenses for institutes and companies.
Yes, you can upgrade your DISLIN PC license or workstation license to a Campus license.
Programs linked with DISLIN can be distributed without any royalties together with neccessary shareable libraries. Utilities such as the driver program DISDRV for displaying or printing DISLIN plotfiles can also be distributed with your programs.
Normally, DISLIN programs linked with a non-free library of DISLIN check for a valid DISLIN license in the file 'license.dat' in the DISLIN directory. If you want to run a DISLIN program on another PC or workstation, you have to create the file 'license.dat' with the entry 'License: Runtime' on that machine. The environment variable 'DISLIN' should be set to the directory where 'license.dat' is placed.
