Anyone responsibly procuring and managing software in a company is working at an immensely important key point in the operational value chain. All of this is done against a legal background, which is often hardly known - or even worse - supposedly but wrongly known.

  • Do you know the legal basics of software licensing?
  • What are the risks for the company and for yourself?
  • How realistic are these risks?

If you are a license manager, who works on the principle of “learning by doing” you’re moving on thin ice, and you should build a solid basis for your knowledge. The aim of the seminar is to create this basis.

This means that the course attendees first learn basic terms and the principles of software law. After that, all essential questions that arise in daily practice will be touched upon. Individual questions can be deepened by using example scenarios or situations which are brought along by the participants.

The trainer is a lawyer and has many years of experience in teaching legal issues in the IT area.

  • General legal basics
  • Copyright Law and Intellectual Property
  • Contracts and contract types
  • License agreement / license types
  • OEM Software
  • Open-Source Software
  • License trade / software acquisition / SLA / warranty
  • Compliance
  • Audit and what can be done
  • Liability issues
  • Legal enforcement in and out of court

What added values (for yourself) can you expect?

  • You know the essential legal principles of software licensing.
  • You will be able to assess the risks that arise for you and your company.
  • You will be familiar with the basic risks of an audit and how to deal with them.

The course is designed for employees from IT, purchasing, sales, controlling, auditing, management who are active in procurement and management of software and licenses or who are to become active in the future.
