What does a single-user license allow a user to do?

A single-user license permits a user to install software on one specific computer. This type of licensing is designed for individual use, meaning the software can typically be located on a single machine, restricting installation on additional devices under the same license agreement. The intent is to ensure that the software is utilized according to the terms set forth by the manufacturer, which often means limiting its use to one user on one device to prevent unauthorized sharing or duplication.

The other choices refer to different licensing models or uses that are not covered by a single-user license. For example, installing software on multiple devices indicates a multi-user or site license, while installation on a shared server pertains to a server license or enterprise edition designed for broader use. Distributing software for free is generally not allowed under a standard single-user license, as that would breach ownership and usage rights specified by the software provider.
