Software Licenses

A software license stipulates the do’s and don’ts about the software to ensure that you stay legal.

What is a Software License?

A software license is an agreement between you and the owner of the software that allows you to do certain things that would otherwise be an infringement of copyright law. The software license usually answers questions such as

» Where and how often can you install the program?
» Can you copy, modify, or redistribute it?
» Can you look at the underlying source code?

Each piece of software that you purchase for your business will come with a license stipulating what you can and can’t do with it, and it is essential that you fully understand the terms of the license to ensure that you stay legal. Understanding software licensing for your business and purchasing the correct licenses for your needs can also help your business save money.
