So, I'm having a "hypothetical" issue with a software vendor. I've got users in Vancouver that PCoIP into machines in Los Angeles, with license servers in Los Angeles. Potentially, a vendor might say that by their EULA, if we have users in Vancouver, we have to have not only the license servers, but also the workstations in Vancouver, even if the software and workstations are used solely by users in Vancouver. Otherwise, we have to pay a additional non-trivial fee per license, per year for a multi-country license. I understand the actual text of the EULA will factor in greatly in a matter like this, but does anyone have general thoughts or perhaps some experience in this matter? With PCoIP, cloud and other technologies that exist to make physical location irrelevant, existing EULAs can make things a PITA if not worse. |
