What is the definition of a Site License?

Definition of the word ‘Site’ refers to a specific location. This is not a synonym for world-wide or all encompassing. The site license is intended for one location only. We base this logic on a main office where majority of a customer’s employees work from. Most large companies have a primary location where the bulk of their employees are located. This is what a site license is intended for.

Subsidaries of a company are not included within the definition of a site license. Satellite locations are not intended with a site license. Multi-developer license options should be considered for these situations.

Sub-contractors are common for businesses. Whether they are a subsidiary of the registered company or an outside contractor is not relevant. A subsidiary may be covered under a multi-developer license only while that developer is working on a project for the direct benefit of the registered company, and only for the time the software is in use for the direct benefit of the registered company. The license is non-transferrable to the sub-contractor. The license may not be used by the sub-contractor for any other purpose than for the direct benefit of the registered owner.
