Description

Software is a generic term for organized collections of computer data and instructions, often broken into two major categories: (a) system software that provides the basic non-task-specific functions of the computer, and (b) application software which is used by users to accomplish specific tasks. System software is responsible for controlling, integrating, and managing the individual hardware components of a computer system so that other software and the users of the system see it as a functional unit without having to be concerned with the low-level details such as transferring data from memory to disk, or rendering text onto a display. Generally, system software consists of an operating system and some fundamental utilities such as disk formatters, file managers, display managers, text editors, user authentication (login) and management tools, and networking and device control Software is created with programming languages and related utilities, which may come in several of the above forms: single programs like script interpreters, packages containing a compiler, linker, and other tools; and large suites (often called Integrated Development Environments) that include editors, debuggers, and other tools for multiple languages. A Software Acquisition Agreement is a legal contract between a buyer and seller that outlines the terms and conditions of the purchase and sale of software. It is used when a buyer wishes to purchase software from a seller, either through a single transaction or a series of transactions. The Software Acquisition Agreement will outline the rights and obligations of both parties, including the payment terms, the scope and duration of the purchase, responsibilities for maintenance and support, warranty disclaimers, and intellectual property rights. Depending on the type of purchase, different types of Software Acquisition Agreements may be used, such as a Purchase Agreement, End User License Agreement (EULA), Subscription Agreement, Open Source Software Agreement, or Maintenance Agreement.
