Licensor Oriented Software License Agreement

A software license agreement typically has broad-form confidentiality provisions that also provide that certain items fall into the bucket of one or the other party (e.g., the software for a licensor, certain data for a licensee, etc.).

Perhaps the key difference between a EULA and a software license agreement is that a EULA is often meant for scenarios where many users could be using the software on a continuous basis and a software license agreement is more often used for business-to-business, often times for finite engagements.

An example of a licensing agreement is a contract between the copyright holders of software and another company, allowing the latter to use the computer software for their daily business operations.

What is a Licensing Agreement? A licensing agreement is a contract between two parties (the licensor and licensee) in which the licensor grants the licensee the right to use the brand name, trademark, patented technology, or ability to produce and sell goods owned by the licensor.

User agreements like EULAs are legally binding contracts between the software author and the end-user. End User License Agreements are enforceable as long as it is clear that it is a contract and both parties can understand the terms.
