Software licence key

An activation credential authorizing use of eligible software under a publisher's licence terms.

Digital software products may be offered as a licence key, account entitlement or time-limited subscription. The reseller must distinguish perpetual licences from limited-duration access and follow permitted distribution rules. Avoid claiming official authorization or unrestricted territory rights without evidence.

Key facts

  • Licence type and period should be stated
  • Activation may be account-bound
  • Authorized resale conditions still apply
