ITPEC IP October 2018 Question 75
Which of the following is an explanation of a volume license agreement on software?
Explanation
A master copy for bulk buyers, with the number of installations fixed in advance — a volume license covers many installations under one contract.
A company that needs software on many PCs buys a volume license: it receives one master copy (media or a download) and a licence for an agreed number of installations or users, instead of buying a boxed package for each PC. This makes purchasing and installing the software across the company simpler and usually cheaper per copy.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- •(b) — use restricted to one facility with no limit on computers or users inside it is a site license
- •(c) — accepting terms displayed on screen when downloading is a click-wrap (click-on) license
- •(d) — an agreement considered concluded when the package is unwrapped is a shrink-wrap license
Key rule: Volume license = a counted number of installations for bulk buyers; site license = unlimited use at one place; shrink-wrap and click-wrap describe how an individual user accepts the terms.
