Hi Bryan, Yes, in deed. In fact, that is one reason I largely use Linux these days for most things. For one thing not only is it free to use you don't have to worry about hardware based licenses for commercial software. For the most part all you need to do is install the base operating system, install any additional software packages, and you are set. No need to enter several product licenses one after another. However, because Linux does have its limits I generally keep at least one Windows system around just to play games, to program, etc but it is sure nice not having to put up with hardware based licenses with Linux based software. All of the commercial Linux software I own generally requires a standard license key, and that's it. Like with the Cepstral TTS voices you run the swift licensing tool tell it what voice to licence, enter the product key, and your done. It works on every computer i have so I don't have to worry about all the third-party voices I purchased being tied to any particular computer. Most commercial software for Linux is generally like that. No hardware based licensing that I've ever seen.
