What is a Permanent Software License?

This Permanent Software License agreement is designed for use in Malaysia when a software provider grants a perpetual, non-revocable license to a customer. It is particularly relevant when organizations need to establish long-term software usage rights without subscription-based or time-limited restrictions. The document incorporates requirements from Malaysian legislation, including the Copyright Act 1987, Contracts Act 1950, and Electronic Commerce Act 2006. It covers essential elements such as license scope, usage restrictions, intellectual property protection, warranties, and liability limitations. This agreement type is commonly used for enterprise software implementations, custom-developed solutions, or when organizations prefer ownership-like rights rather than subscription-based access.
