lisentsitud

Lisentsitud is a term from the Estonian language that translates into English as "licensed". It is the past tense of the verb lisentida, which means to grant a license or to license. The noun form lisens refers to a license or permit, and the adjective lisentsitud describes something that has been granted a licence or official permission.

In Estonian legal and administrative contexts, lisentsitud is typically applied to products, activities, or individuals that have obtained the required authorisation from relevant authorities. Common examples include lisentsitud kaubamärk (licensed trademark), lisentsitud kvalifikatsioon (licensed qualification), and lisentsitud tegevus (licensed activity). In the field of software, lisentsitud can refer to software that is distributed under a particular license, such as lisentsitud lähtekoodiga (licensed open-source) or lisentsitud proprietaarne (licensed proprietary) software. The term is also frequently used in public procurement, where a company may be lisentsitud to provide certain services, indicating compliance with regulatory standards.

The concept parallels the English term "licensed" and is often seen in bilingual documents, such as "lisentsitud (licensed) software." It underscores the legal standing and rights granted, which can be crucial for both legal compliance and public trust. The word is categorized under Estonian verbs, legal terminology, and licensing.
