Some more useful information about your license and your account
Desktop 
Pix4D desktop licenses are floating licenses with a specific number of seats. This means that you can log out of a desktop application on a computer and log into it on another one. You do not need to uninstall the software to use it on a different computer.
The number of seats available for your license defines the number of computers on which you can simultaneously use the desktop license.
Cloud 
There is no limit on the number of devices on which you can simultaneously use the license, create and access your cloud projects.
