- The company has several remote offices (a point of sale, a warehouse, and so on) not connected with the head office via the local network. Each remote office has its own local network. Is the company authorized to install the software from ONE basic delivery (platform + configuration) both in the head office and in remote offices by acquiring only client licenses for remote offices? Is the company obliged to purchase the basic delivery (platform + configuration) for each remote office?
According to the current licensing procedure, the fair use of the license agreement for the basic delivery (platform + configuration) is limited to the user's local network where the software is to be installed. Therefore, the company has to purchase a separate basic delivery (platform + configuration) for a local network of each remote office where the software is to be installed.
- The company has several remote points of sale not connected with the head office via the local network. The company uses a distributed infobase. Is the company obliged to acquire a license for distributed infobases?

- The company uses 1C:Enterprise 8 in multiple workstations networked locally. The workstations are a sales person's automated workstation and a store manager's computer (a central computer). The sales person's automated workstation can work both in a network with a shared infobase and offline by exchanging data with the central computer using a distributed infobase scheme. Shall the company purchase a separate basic 1C:Enterprise delivery for each workstation?
Since all the computers of the company are networked locally, exchanging data using a distributed infobase scheme does not require purchasing a separate basic delivery for each workstation.
- Within one company, two legal entities with a different tax treatment carry out their activities in two infobases. All users work in a single local network. How many basic deliveries shall the company purchase?
Since all computers are networked locally, according to the license agreement, it is enough to purchase one basic delivery and acquire client concurrent user licenses. The number of basic deliveries does not depend on the number of infobases and legal entities.
- In one company, in the same territory, two users work with the same configuration but with different infobases. Computers are not networked. Is it enough to purchase ONE basic delivery and an additional license in this case? Or shall the company purchase TWO basic deliveries?

- An auditor has bought a basic product delivery. Can they use this product to keep records on one computer for ten different companies?
The number of infobases working with a single basic delivery is not limited by the license agreement. Using a single basic delivery to keep records for ten different companies on one computer is rightful in this case.
- The company plans to use two 1C:Enterprise 8 configurations (1C:Enterprise 8. Trade Management and 1C:HR Management 8) on five computers. Shall it purchase two different basic deliveries or is it enough to purchase a single basic delivery as there are no component restrictions in protection keys?

A client license authorizes a user in a local network to access any configuration from the basic delivery. Therefore, it is not required to purchase two sets of client single concurrent user licenses to access two configurations. In this case, except for two basic deliveries, it will be necessary to acquire client 4 concurrent user licenses since a single concurrent user license for this configuration is included in the basic delivery of each configuration.
- The company has purchased a basic 1C:Enterprise 8. Trade Management delivery and uses it in a multi-user mode (with additional licenses). Is it allowed to install the software on the manager's laptop that is not networked and start it with a secondary key?

If the manager uses remote access to the company's shared infobase (for example, using web client or remote access), it is not required to purchase the basic delivery.
- The company system administrators use different complex hardware and software features to organize access to the company computers located in different territories. How can I decide what solutions are a single local network and what solutions are not a single local network in these cases?

Microsoft SQL Server Client Access License says: "Each Client Access License gives you the right to access a server application from a specific computer, workstation, or another electronic device." Thus, the number of Microsoft SQL Server licenses must be greater than or equal to the number of concurrent 1C:Enterprise 8 users in the client/server mode.
