Licensing and Networking
Can we view files from non-licensed PCs? 
Yes.
When we purchase the software, how many dongle keys will be provided with the software?  Can I install the software on several PCs, so I can use the dongle key with any of these PCs?
There is a hardware lock (dongle key) provided for each program purchased with a license name and password. They may be networked together to share information from a central server, but each individual computer must have its own USB hardware key lock.  The key may be used on several different computers but not at the same time.  ie: We have clients that work on one computer at the office and then take their key home to work on a different computer there.
Is it enough to install the software and provide the dongle key for the central server only ? 
This is not an option at this time
Is there is a multi-user version? As our main office is located in Dubai and we are in different country rather than the other branches in other cities in UAE or other countries in Middle East, is there is a possibility to install the software in the main server and use it from any of the branches via internet? If so is there is any special requirement in this regard?
After extensive testing of the software available for multi-user networked version licensing, we determined that the speed degradation and security issues were too great to make the application  practical for our users.  Thus the program is currently only available for single station licensing.  As a suggested alternative: We allow our software to be installed on computers in multiple locations, and run without being licensed (no hardware lock/dongle), for review of drawings created on licensed stations.  These unlicensed installation would be somewhat limited in that the hydraulic calculator would not be fully functional, stock listing would not be available and drawing changes could not be saved.  The drawings however would be fully editable.  If changes were desired, a screen shot could be made of the changes and sent to the person that was using the licensed software for final drawing edits.
