A software license defines the terms and conditions in which the person who owns a copy of the software, is able to do with the software. Usually it defines the terms on whether the owner of the copy is allowed to distribute or modify the software.

What is the difference between a perpetual software license and a software purchase?

I'm not sure what you're asking here. A perpetual software license is a software license agreement that has an "infinite" term, does not expire, or in some cases, automatically renews itself, if so required. Some software licenses have a term, like "30 days," "12 months," etc. A software license agreement functions in a similar capacity to a lease, or rental agreement. It defines how, how long, where, when, etc, a software application can be used and copied. A "software purchase" is the purchase of a software license. When you purchase software, you are purchasing the right to "use," more specifically load the software in the form of a derivative copy. Sometimes, the software you purchase has a "perpetual license." Sometimes, it does not. G.C. Hutson, Chief Executive and Senior Partner Sadien Intellectual Property, Inc. www.Sadien.com
