End User License Agreement
When you install the software, (this is true of
pretty much any commecial software), there is a screen in the dialog box where
there is a whole lot of really boring text, and you have to click on YES, or I
AGREE, or something like that. That is the licensing agreemenet, ot EULA,
and it is the terms under which you are permitted to use the
software.
Its worth reading, or at least skimming through
them from time to time, even though they are pretty boring. THere can be
some interesting things hidden inthem. For example, if you buy an off the
shelf version of Microsoft Office, the EULA allows you to install it at work,and
at home, as long as you never use both installations concurrently (well, I think
it still says that, I haven't read a recent retail MS EULA). But, if you
license multiple copies of the same release of MS Office through their open
licensing program, whcih can save you a few dollars, you cannot have any home
installs, AND, you agree to submit a self audit form to Microsofts accounting
firm if they request it, documenting that you have not over installed the
product. Very different terms than the retail EULA.
