Pls Help me - tecread

I have some doubt regarding the licence.

that is..

the USER means the PERSON who use the computer. and the SOFTWARE means the

OS/APPLICATION. company means the company who provide the SOFTWARE may be

MICROSOFT / NOVEL or any body.

the SOFTWARE is a intelctual property of the COMPANY.

if any USER want the SOFTWARE, the USER have to pay a amount to COMPANY,

what known as price of the software product and USER get rights to use the

SOFTWARE.called as LICENCE.

my doubt is..

1) what is the rights the user gets when s(he) pays for it.?

2) dose the user get ownership over the SOFTWARE ? (must be yes becose s(he)

is paying for it)

3) means dose the SOFTWARE becomes the property for s(he) ?

4) if s(he) dont want that SOFTWARE any more, s(he ) can sell it to any body

?

5) is there any secondary market to buy/sell such Licence?

6) shall s(he) return LICENCE to the COMPANY to get back the money what

s(he) paid ?

7) incase if s(he) dies, the what will be happen to the LICENCE ? dose it

expires with the USER ? or it transfer to legal hier (son/daugher)?

thank you

with regards

okay, I'll play along....

> 1) what is the rights the user gets when s(he) pays for it.?

a "license" to use the software (like a license to drive a car)

User gets ownership of the license.

license becomes property of user

Tricky, but i would substitute the word license for software once

again

Ummm,,,Ebay?

Not if the box is opened or the software has been registered....

Licenses in the software sense are more targeted to machines than

individuals.

For instance, let's say i take a program that is allowed to be

installed one time on 1 machine

(not an O.S.) Now i install that program on a server where multiple

people have access to the program.

Am i in violaition?

Re: Pls Help me - tecread

each company has its own End User Licensing Agreement..EULA.....read them as

to your rights and obligations.

In general

you are leasing the software to use for personal/business use,

usually on only one computer..some up to 3,

if you sell the software, which you can ,you must stop using it,

the software and the license should be sold together

In some instances the software is tied to the hardware and cannot be sold

seperately

you will NOT get a refund if you stop using the sofware,

you do NOT have ownership of the Software....you have the right to use it

You have ownership of the License only..which in turn gives you the right to

use the Software

( look at it like a hotel room..you pay you have the right to use the room

you don't own the contents)

If you die the license and software goes to whoever inherits the machine its

on

That is spelled out in the software's license.

No. The user does not purchase the software; he/she instead purchases

a license to use the software under the agreed upon conditions in that

license.

No.

If the license permits resale, yes.

Many

Usually only if the software license has never been installed or used.

Again, it depends entirely on the terms of the license in question.

Most EULA's allow you to sell the software with its original license once

you have removed it from your system

Bear in mind that a program is *not* like a car or a bike. You own the

car or the bike. but with a program, what you own is a license to use

the software, *not* the program itself.

The question of whether you can sell (or even give away) the license

to use the software depends on the particular program. Some software

vendor's licenses permit it, but others don't. Moreover, some vendors

(Microsoft, for example) have two types of licenses--retail and OEM. A

Microsoft Retail license *can* be transferred (sold or given away),

but an OEM license can *not*; the OEM license permanently ties the

software to the first computer it's installed on.
