Yksittäiskäyttöoikeuksia

Yksittäiskäyttöoikeuksia, often translated as single-user licenses or individual use rights, refers to a type of software licensing model where a license is granted for use by a single, specific individual. This is in contrast to concurrent licenses, which allow a certain number of users to access the software simultaneously, or site licenses, which permit installation on a specified number of computers within an organization.

In a yksittäiskäyttöoikeus agreement, the software is typically installed on a single computer or device. The license is tied to an individual user, meaning that even if the computer is shared, only the designated user is permitted to operate the software under that specific license. This model is common for personal software purchases, professional tools used by individuals, and educational licenses.

The key characteristic of yksittäiskäyttöoikeuksia is the restriction on concurrent usage. Multiple individuals cannot use the same license at the same time. If a second individual needs to use the software, a separate license must be acquired. This licensing strategy helps software vendors control distribution and ensure fair revenue generation, especially for products with a broad individual user base. The terms and conditions of a yksittäiskäyttöoikeus are detailed in the End-User License Agreement (EULA) that accompanies the software.
