ITPEC IP October 2023 Question 74
Among the various types of license agreements for a software package, which of the following is an appropriate explanation concerning a site license?
Explanation
Use on multiple computers within a designated company or organization — a site license covers a whole organization or site under one contract.
Instead of buying one license per machine, the organization signs one agreement that lets it install and use the package on many computers within the designated company, campus or location, often up to an agreed number. It simplifies purchasing and license management for large organizations.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- •(b) — use on a designated computer or a fixed number of computers is a per-machine (device) license
- •(c) — installing on a designated server that any client may access describes a server license
- •(d) — use by a designated user or a fixed number of users, whatever the purpose, is a user (named-user) license
Key rule: Software licenses differ in what they count: a site license the organization, a device license the machines, a server license the server, a user license the people.
