Important licence information

Single user, multi-user or Enterprise?

Limited user licences (1 user, 5 users and 10 users) are appropriate as long as only the corresponding number of users can access or view the data. 

If more than 10 users need to access or view the data, you should purchase an Enterprise licence. If these users are in different locations or part of a subsidiary or affiliate, you should purchase a Global Enterprise licence.

If you intend to put the data in a shared application, platform or system, you should purchase an Enterprise licence. A Global Enterprise licence is needed if users viewing or accessing the data/derived data are in different locations or part of a subsidiary or an affiliate. 

For more details, see our terms and conditions.
