What are License Codes?

The software usage terms and conditions, agreed upon by you and software vendor, are stored as digital data called license codes. Here are the few characteristics of a license code:

• The license code indicates terms, like the maximum number of concurrent users of the application, the computers on which the application can be run, the license expiration date (if any).
• The license codes are stored in a file called the license file. Multiple license codes may be stored in a single license file.
• The licensed application may use one or more license codes. One license code may provide, for example, the right for four users to use the application at once, while another provides the right to two users to use the application at once. In this case, six users would be able to run the application at once using both license codes. If you need to add another concurrent user, this can easily be done by obtaining an additional license code from your vendor.
