Software piracy — the unauthorized and illegal duplication of copyrighted software — is by far the most common form of software theft. When you purchase software, you actually do not own the software; instead, you have purchased the right to use the software, as outlined in the software license. Briefly describe the characteristics of the following type of software license: single-user,
multiple-user, network license, and community/state license.
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
Single-user: Software can be installed on only one computer. Some license agreements allow users to install the software on one desktop computer and one notebook computer
Multiple-user: Software can be installed on a set number of computers, typically 5, 10, 50, or more. Cost varies based on number of computers.
Network License: Software is installed on the school’s network. The license will specify and the software will control a specific number of simultaneous users, such as 50, 100, 250, or 500. Cost varies based on number of computers.
Community/State License: Frequently used with software distributed on CDs/DVDs. Any number of programs can be purchased for either Macintosh or PC platforms.
