Aspex Software Licenses
Explained
What is a Software License?
A software license grants the user the legal right to use a piece of
software. In the same way that a television owner requires a license, a
software user requires a license to use the software.
Software is protected by copyright law which states that the product
must not be copied without written permission from the copyright holder.
Aspex Software License types
There are different kinds of license to use Aspex Software products:
Master User License (MUL)
Site License (SL)
Additional User Licence (AUL)
Volume Licensing
EML Licensing
What is a Master User License (MUL)?
A Master User License is issued with the original software pack
granting a legal right to use the software on a single computer.
What is a Site License (SL)?
A Site License is a paper license which can either be issued with the
original software or else a user may obtain one to extend the original
license, granting the right to use the software on any number of computers
at the registered site.
Outside the United Kingdom a school requiring a Site License will be
issued a license called BSL, Building Site License.
What is an Additional User License?
An Additional User License is a paper license which extends the use of
the original software product, granting a specified number of additional
users the right to use the software.
What is Volume Licensing?
Volume licensing is an economical way to buy Aspex Software products at
a price discounted to reflect the volume purchased.
Volume licenses can be purchased by Education Ministries and
Authorities. The license to use the software will be tailored to satisfy
the different requirements of each customer. Examples; Province License,
Authority License, Board License, Ministry License.
What is an Education Manufacture License (EML)?
An Education Manufacture License allows an Education Authority to copy
and install software onto computers destined for use in their schools.
Concurrent Use
All Aspex Software licenses are for the concurrent use of the software.
In other words, if 10 students need to use the software concurrently then
a ten user licence is required, regardless of the number of computers in
the school.
