There have been some discussions about licenses and self-auditing in these forums. Can someone please tell me what this part of the EULA means? It applies to customers who are purchasing a Progress "core" license. "A Core License may not be transferred from one Server or Platform to another." I googled for this and wasn't able to find the exact language from any other vendors.

It is possible that some customers might plan on using the same licenses in the case of a disaster (ie. having a server image ready to be turned on in a different datacenter). Please let me know how to read this. Any additional explanation would be helpful.
