Royal Mail Licences
Single User Licence is for an individual workstation or terminal or hand-held or otherwise portable device within an End-User's
organisation (which could be shared).
System Licence is for a server or other storage device owned or controlled by the End-User on a single piece of equipment. Where
the End-User is an individual organisation, a System Licence is available as an alternative to paying per User. The amount
payable is according to whether Full or Thoroughfare PAF or postcodes only (Data category) is supplied. Separate Licences are
required for each system (per Data category supplied) upon which Data is based (and to which satellite systems may be wired for
access).
Multi-System Licence is available to an organisation as an alternative to holding three or more System Licences per Data category
supplied.
