I *guess* this all depends on if you are under the new or old
licensing terms. The old terms did not have the concept of "registered
entity" and you should therefore be allowed to run Arla as much as you
like. If you are a new customer, or for some reason give up your old
licensing terms, I *guess* you loose.
Cheers,
Björn
