One question I didn't have an answer to on the older thread about Foundry.

The scenario is this: I want to GM a campaign, so I buy Foundry and start to set up the maps and everything. But I can't host the game locally, since my ISP makes it a bit complicated.
My friends can host, but I guess they need to buy the software for that. Am I right?

I think your only legitimate options would be to either have someone else with a license that you send the module to (they can just paste the folder I believe.) The HOST doesn't automatically take the GM slot so you can still connect to them as a GM. Or use one of the cloud hosting options.

Thank you.

I looked at the Foundry license agreement and found this:

Quote:

Sharing access to the software with a friend or family member is permitted, provided other terms of the license are upheld.

But it also says:

Quote:

You may install the software on multiple computers but the software may only be actively in use on one installed location at a time unless you purchase additional licenses.

It seems ok if I share my license with a friend just for the purpose of hosting the game, since I would join it via browser. I should probably ask them for a clarification.

you can share the License ... as long as only 1 of you is hostng at the same time ...

The license pretty much works like an oldschool Hardcover rulebook :)
you can "borrow/lend" it to/for friends you can play multiple campaigns with it .. but it only can be used by 1 Group at the same time.
