Document background
This Floating Software License agreement is designed for situations where organizations require flexible software deployment across multiple users while maintaining a fixed number of concurrent licenses. It is particularly suitable for businesses seeking to optimize software licensing costs by allowing different users to access the software at different times, subject to a maximum concurrent user limit. The agreement incorporates Canadian legal requirements, including compliance with federal and provincial regulations regarding software licensing, intellectual property protection, and electronic commerce. It addresses key aspects such as license server deployment, user authentication, usage tracking, and reporting mechanisms. This document should be used when implementing floating license arrangements in Canada, especially for enterprise-wide software deployments where the total number of potential users exceeds the number of available licenses.
