What is a Floating Software License?

This Floating Software License agreement is designed for organizations requiring flexible, network-based software licensing solutions under Dutch law. It is particularly suitable when multiple users need to share access to software applications, but not all users require simultaneous access. The agreement covers essential aspects such as concurrent user limits, license server requirements, usage monitoring, and compliance mechanisms. It includes provisions for technical implementation, user authentication, reporting requirements, and service level commitments. This document ensures compliance with relevant Dutch legislation, including the Dutch Civil Code, Copyright Act, and EU regulations such as GDPR. The floating license model allows organizations to optimize software investments by purchasing licenses based on concurrent usage rather than individual user assignments.
