Are multiple home licenses allowed?

Sifter
Im the only geek in the family and take care of my parents (not technical at all) internet as well as my own.  Can I create a second home license under my account, but obviously it would be located at their house and their internet?  Would this violate any terms?

    I believe it's not possible to have 2 active home licenses registered under the same e-mail address. Just register one under your parents' mail account.

    I'm in a similar situation though i'd want a single license for my home place Internet  connection mostly used at night which would be shared with a studio/personal work place where i'm staying most of the day time... Though i hardly think this is possible..

    But in your case, nothing goes against generating a home license for your parents (under their name) and maintaining it yourself i'd say...

    I can't seem to find the actual terms of the free Home Use license anywhere, and I certainly do not profess to speak for Sophos, but I've read in the past that folks have been able to use the same Home license key on multiple devices, either for testing or for a HA setup.

    I wouldn't recommend that for long-term use; I believe the devices send the license ID when downloading up2dates, etc., and it might lead to problems someday.

    It's simple to create another account with another email address for the parents.

    But can this extra license be under the same MyUTM account? Or it will have its own login and password under MyUTM web site?
    I noticed you need an activation key to generate a new home license regardless of the selected profile in license mgmt...
    So each home license under its own login account?

    Yes, each home license must be under a different account.
