Licensing Software

Licensing software refers to the legal rights granted to use a software program under specific conditions set by the creator or vendor. It defines how, where, and when you can use the software, often through licenses like single-user, multi-user, or subscriptions. Licensing helps protect intellectual property, ensuring developers are compensated and users adhere to usage rules. Essentially, it’s a formal agreement that allows you to access and use the software legally, rather than owning it outright, providing clarity on usage rights and restrictions.
