Software Asset Management

What is a Software License

  • End User Licensing Agreement
  • It gives you permission to use the software.
  • You do not own the software.
  • EULA (End User Licensing Agreements) are different from license to license and vendor to vendor
  • The license and the installation CDs may be two separate items

When it comes to software licensing, there are some main points to remember

  • 1 license = 1 computer
  • Licenses are required for each computer, general rule but there are some exceptions
  • The 80/20 rule does not apply
  • All Licenses are NOT the same
  • License agreements from the same vendor will vary
  • License conditions can change when you download software
  • Licenses apply NOT ONLY to software but also apply to music, sound files, pictures, fonts and even DLL files!

Software Piracy:
