The major drivers for the adoption of software licensing are piracy and malware. Software licensing acts as an agreement to solve these issues. It provides the rights to use packaged software or components of software. The use of a software without proper licensing would constitute an infringement of copyright laws. All enterprise applications are offered to end-users through licenses. Software licenses are of different types; some are based on the number of users that are allowed to use the program and others are based on the number of systems on which a program can be run.
