OEM Software Program License Agreement
What is this form?
The OEM Software Program License Agreement is a legal document that establishes the terms under which a developer grants permission to an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to use specific software. This agreement is designed for situations where the OEM needs to utilize the software solely for its internal operations and cannot transfer the license to others.
