Software Licensing Models and Types

Regardless of what type of industry your company belongs to, understanding the different types of software licenses is vital in interpreting its terms and conditions precisely. By carefully doing so, you can conduct the right kinds of practices for each type of program and ensure that you observe software license compliance at all times.

Through this knowledge, you not only help reduce the risk of potentially wasting valuable assets used to purchase these licenses, but you can also make software asset management more efficient and simple for your teams.
