Document background
This Software License Management Policy serves as a crucial governance document for organizations operating in Saudi Arabia, establishing comprehensive guidelines for the acquisition, management, and compliance of software licenses. The policy has become increasingly important due to the growing complexity of software licensing models, the rise of cloud-based solutions, and the strict regulatory environment in Saudi Arabia. It helps organizations maintain compliance with Saudi copyright laws, cybersecurity regulations, and relevant CITC requirements while optimizing software investments and minimizing legal and financial risks. The document is designed to be implemented across all organizational levels and should be reviewed and updated regularly to reflect changes in technology, licensing models, and regulatory requirements.
