Licensed computer software is fully integrated into many companies’ businesses in today’s technology-driven environment. Licenses for the software or related content are sometimes tenaciously negotiated. Licensees cannot withstand unexpected license terminations because of the lead time it would take to substitute another product and the costs and business interruptions associated with migrating data to a different platform.
