What is a Floating Software License?

This Floating Software License agreement is designed for organizations requiring flexible software deployment across multiple users or devices, where licenses can be dynamically allocated from a central pool rather than being tied to specific machines or users. The document is governed by New Zealand law and incorporates requirements from relevant legislation including the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017, Fair Trading Act 1986, and Copyright Act 1994. It is particularly suitable for enterprise environments where software needs to be shared among a larger user base than the number of licenses purchased, optimizing license utilization through concurrent usage tracking. The agreement includes comprehensive terms for license server management, usage monitoring, technical support, and compliance requirements, making it essential for organizations implementing enterprise-wide software solutions with dynamic user allocation needs.
