Hello and Happy Friday!
I have a question regarding the term license. Apparently we cannot ship
software licenses to a certain country without triggering all kinds of
customs bells, whistles, lights, and fines. So, I've been asked to
rewrite anything that discusses software licenses. The only problem
being that I cannot think of an appropriate term to use.
Examples:
A system with fifteen channels requires fifteen licenses.
This product is licensed for fiteen uses.
I considered 'authorization' instead, but it just doesn't sound right.
Suggestions?
