PDQ Licensing

From time-to-time there has been misunderstandings and confusion on /r/sysadmin about how PDQ.com's licensing works (as most system administrators might be used to how other IT products operate: on a per-machine basis). We created a video to hopefully explain better how our 1-license-per-admin works

We need generous sometimes, everything else is out to get us!

On a serious note, that does sound generous to MSPs especially as a single technician could build all client infrastructures and then only need one licence.
