If I have a 2 register license, can I have 2 checkout lanes and a backoffice
for database and management reporting? Or do I have to have a three lane
license?

Thx.

Yes you can do that. My understanding is that you can have as many
backoffice machines as you like - it is only the pos terminals that you are
limited to.

Yes. Just to amplify Ozzie's response, Help verifies exactly what he says.
From the horses mouth, if you will.

You can view it here: Help -> Index -> type in "Lic" and select Licensing,
Microsoft Point of Sale.

MOI,

Actually the way it works is that you can have as many machines you want on
the network.

This license allows you to run the POS program on 2 machines _at the same
time_. It doesn't matter which 2. With a 2 lane license, when you attempt
to open POS on the 3rd one, it gives you an error message about exceeding
the license
