Permitted Uses
The permitted uses of the Publication depend on the type of license that you purchase, as described below:
Publications in Electronic Format (Non-Site License)
If you purchase a license to a Publication in electronic format (non-site license), the number of copies of that Publication may be accessed and used depends on the number of licenses that you have purchased. If you purchase a single license for a Publication in electronic format, you may download, view and print a single copy of the Publication, or portions thereof. That is, you may access and download one (1) electronic file of the Publication (or portion thereof) for temporary storage on one computer at a single location for purposes of viewing, and/or printing one (1) copy of the Publication. If you purchase multiple licenses for a Publication in electronic format, the number of electronic files of the Publication that may be accessed and downloaded is equal to the number of licenses you have purchased, and you may print an equal number of hardcopies. For example, if you purchase two (2) licenses for a single Publication, two (2) electronic files of that Publication may be downloaded and temporarily stored, and one (1) copy may be printed from each electronic file, so that there may be up to a total of two (2) hardcopies of the Publication. Electronic files may not be transferred from computer-to-computer and may not be stored on an intranet or other external or internal network where files can be shared. In no event may the hardcopy prints of any Publications be copied, and the total number of hardcopies in your organization may not exceed the total number of licenses that you have purchased.
Publications in Electronic Format (Site License)
If you purchase a site license to a Publication in electronic format, the number of users from your organization who may simultaneously access and use that Publication at a single or multiple locations depends on the number of users and number of site locations specified in the site license. For example, if you purchase a two (2) user site license for a single Publication for use at one location, you may downloaded and temporarily store that Publication on your organization’s network for simultaneous access by two (2) users at a single location, and one (1) copy may be printed by each user, so that there are a total of two (2) hardcopies of the Publication. In no event may the hardcopy prints of any Publications be copied, and the total number of hardcopies in your organization may not exceed the total number of users specified in the site license.
Publications in Hardcopy Format
The number of copies of a Publication in hardcopy format that you will receive and may use depends on the number of licenses that you have purchased. If you purchase a single license for a Publication in hardcopy format, you will receive one (1) copy of the Publication and may use that copy. If you purchase multiple licenses, the number of copies of the Publication that you will receive and may use is equal to the number of licenses. For example, if you purchase two (2) licenses of a Publication in hardcopy format, you will receive two (2) copies of the Publication for use within your organization. In no event may the Publications be copied.
