A local accounting firm has purchased financial management software, which will be installed on several computers used by the staff. The software can be installed on multiple machines but is limited by the number of users who can use it at the same time. Which type of software license did they most likely purchase?
A concurrent license allows multiple users to access the software, but limits the number of simultaneous users. This type of license is suitable for environments where not everyone needs to use the software at the same time, such as in an accounting firm with multiple staff members. Single use licenses are for one user/machine, group use/site licenses typically don't limit the number of concurrent users, and open source licenses usually allow for unlimited use without restrictions on concurrency.
