License

In SAM, the term license is understood exclusively as a software license. A license covers the right to use software. The purchase of a software license does not mean the purchase of the software itself, but only the right to use the software product. The owner of the license thus acquires the right to use the software product in compliance with the conditions defined by the software manufacturer in the EULA or individual contract. In general, the software license is a combination of a detailed description of the software usage rights in the End User License Agreement (so-called EULA) and a license certificate proving the ownership of the software license. The software license can be provided in a variety of ways on physical paper or, more commonly, as a digital copy via email or PDF. These documents may also include a software license key to activate the software product and links to software media such as the installation file.
