A multi-user licence, is simply permission to use one copy of a piece of software on more than one computer.

Every piece of commercially-available software is protected against duplicating, by various copyright laws throughout the world. Under 'normal' circumstances - legally, a company must buy one copy of a computer program for each computer they want to use the software on. This can prove extremely expensive in large companies. Paying a one-off fee for a multi-user licence, allows the purchaser to legally install the software on more than one computer - significantly reducing the cost.
