Multiple HotSpot Locations.
You may totally, free of charge, connect multiple HotSpots to the identical server for your database. This then allows you to allocate user accounts amongst all of the locations you may have. Please note that free hotspot software does not support this feature.

All of their pricing and licensing models are perfectly straightforward and extremely competitive. After all, their entire price includes a clear-cut uncomplicated server-based unlimited client license. There are absolutely no extra module/feature fees, such as for credit card usage or operator licenses.

You may have different prices for morning use, or afternoon use or even weekend use of your computers. All of this is easy to change within the software itself.
