Is Software Licensing? Licensing allows you and your organization to save money when purchasing software products for multiple users. Instead of purchasing several box copies of a software product, you purchase a license for each individual user – giving your organization the legal right to use a particular software application on more than one computer. Software licensing agreements may vary, depending on which manufacturer you are purchasing your software from. |
|
| What
Do I Get With My License Order? Most software products are for a single user only. When you order a license specifically, you will receive the "license-only" version of the product. Or you may purchase a paper copy of the license of a software product you currently own so that your organization then legally has the right to use that software on additional computers. |
|
| What
Is An End User License Agreement (EULA)? EULA is the standard license that comes with most software purchases. It either comes as an electronic agreement that is found on the software itself, a piece of paper included in the software's packaging, or a piece of paper added to the user's manual. The agreement legally protects the software vendor against unauthorized copying of the software and/or other violations of its property rights. |
|
| What
Is Volume Licensing? Volume licensing allows your organization to order multiple copies of software for a substantial discount. These licenses are available for many products and can save you up to 28% off the retail price of regular software. You also save by buying in bulk by purchasing as little as 5-10 licenses, or up to more than 1,000. |
|
| Does
Each Manufacturer Have A Different Policy With Regard To Licenses?
Most software vendors have their own systems in place for selling and merchandising licenses. We can provide you with specific information about a particular manufacturer’s individual licensing policies. |
|
| Can
I Upgrade My Software If A New Version Of An Application Is Released?
Absolutely. You can either upgrade your software versions for free or receive a special discount, depending on the software vendor. We advise that you check the terms and conditions for each individual manufacturer, as upgrade policies can vary. |
|
| What
About Technical Support? Is That Included In The Price Of A Particular
License? Most software license programs have several technical support packs available for purchase, and these policies vary according to the manufacturer’s specifications. We can provide you the terms and conditions of each individual vendor for details. |
