I am a small business owner and I am trying the Groove trial edition. I'm
going to ask an employee to download the trial on her computer. The employee
and I work from our homes on a non-networked system.

If I end up buying Groove, does that purchase allow me to get her set up on
the purchased license as well?

Or, do I have to buy a separate license for her and every subsequent
employee that I add to Groove?
Thank you! Seems like a great tool. Best regards, Joe

Best to ask about this in the groove newsgroup

When you elect to participate in the trial you can set up as many workspaces as you would like and invite as many other people to participate in those as you would like. After the free trial expires, you will not be allowed to set up any new workspaces but can continue to use your existing workspaces. Plus you won't be able to invite new users.

The least expensive way for you to proceed is to purchase your license at the end of the trial period and ask others to download the free trial. Though they cannot set up new workspaces beyond the trial period if they choose not to purchase, you can continue to work with them in Groove and set up new workspaces.
