Yksittäiskäyttöoikeus

Yksittäiskäyttöoikeus, often translated as "single-user license" or "individual license," refers to a type of software license that grants permission for only one specific user to install and use a particular software product. This is in contrast to licenses that may allow for multiple users, simultaneous access, or installation on multiple devices by a single entity.

In practice, a yksittäiskäyttöoikeus typically means that the software is licensed to an individual person, and that person is the only one authorized to use it. This often comes with restrictions on sharing the software with others, even within the same organization or household. While the user may be able to install the software on more than one of their personal devices, the license still pertains to that single individual.

This licensing model is common for consumer-grade software, such as personal productivity suites, creative applications, and many games. It helps software developers control distribution and revenue. For businesses, such licenses are usually less practical than volume licenses or site licenses, which are designed for multiple users. When purchasing software with a yksittäiskäyttöoikeus, it is important to read the end-user license agreement (EULA) carefully to understand the specific terms and conditions of use.
