Einzellizenz

Einzellizenz refers to a type of software license that grants a single user the right to install and use a software product on a specific number of devices, usually one or two. This contrasts with volume licenses, which allow for multiple installations across an organization, or concurrent licenses, where a specific number of users can access the software simultaneously from a shared pool.

The terms of an Einzellizenz typically restrict the user from installing the software on more devices than specified. It is generally intended for individual users or small businesses with limited software needs. The purchase of an Einzellizenz usually involves a one-time payment, although some software providers offer subscription-based single-user licenses.

When acquiring an Einzellizenz, users are provided with a license key or activation code that authenticates their right to use the software. This license is often tied to a specific user account or the hardware of the device it is installed on. Attempting to install the software on an unauthorized device or share the license key can lead to a violation of the license agreement, potentially resulting in the deactivation of the software or legal action. Understanding the specific terms and conditions of an Einzellizenz is crucial for compliance and to ensure legitimate use of the software.
