Not Legal or Professional Advice

The LICENSEWARE Wiki is an educational resource. Nothing on this site is legal, licensing, tax, accounting, audit or procurement advice, and reading it does not create an adviser, client or any other professional relationship.

Software license rights and obligations depend on your specific agreements, order documents, product versions, deployment and jurisdiction. Before making licensing, purchasing, compliance or audit decisions, consult qualified legal counsel or licensing specialists and read the vendor documents that apply to you.

No Warranty

Content is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, currency, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.

Vendors revise price lists, product terms, license definitions and policies frequently. An article or catalog row may describe terms that have since changed, or that never applied to your contract. Every catalog row shows the effective and retrieved dates of its source so you can check it against the current document.

Your Agreements Govern

Where anything on this site differs from your signed agreement, ordering document or the vendor’s current published terms, those documents prevail. Quotations and summaries of vendor documents are provided for commentary and education; they do not modify, interpret authoritatively or replace the vendor’s terms.

Community-Edited Content

Articles and catalog rows are written and edited by volunteers from the software asset management community. Editors review contributions against the House rules, but content may contain errors or omissions at any time, and may be changed or removed without notice.

Contributions reflect the views of their contributors, not those of LICENSEWARE, the site host, or any vendor mentioned.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, LICENSEWARE and the contributors to this wiki are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special loss or damage, including audit findings, licensing fees, penalties, lost profits or data, arising from the use of, or reliance on, this site or its content.

Independence and Trademarks

The wiki is independent of the software publishers it covers. It is not a reseller, partner, auditor or representative of any vendor, and no vendor has reviewed or approved its content unless an article states so.

Product and company names, logos and brands are trademarks of their respective holders and are used only to identify the publisher or product an article is about. See Trademarks and Logos for the sources of each logo. Rights holders can request removal by emailing contact@licenseware.io.

Links to Third-Party Sites

References link to vendor websites, standards bodies and other third-party sources. Those sites are outside our control; we are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices, and a link is not an endorsement.

Privacy

This site is a static website. It sets no cookies and runs no advertising or analytics trackers. Pages with diagrams load a charting library from the public jsDelivr CDN.

Recent searches are kept only in your browser’s local storage and can be cleared from the search panel. If you join the contributor waiting list, the details you enter are sent to LICENSEWARE (by email, or through its HubSpot account) and used only to contact you about contributing; ask contact@licenseware.io to be removed at any time. Corrections sent by email are used only to review the page concerned.
