General Software Sales Procedures

Site licensed software are available from the ACCC at lower costs than what you will find at retail stores.
Terms of the site license vary and all software is sold without manuals.

It is illegal to install one legal copy of the software on more than one machine.
You must purchase as many copies (or licenses) of the software as machines you plan to install the software on. LANs are not excluded although the wording in some instances changes to: you must have enough licenses to cover concurrent uses of the software.

A list of software titles is available in E-Sales; search by product titles.

This document is solely for the purpose of ACCC site licensed software and does not apply to software sold by other vendors.
