End User Definition

CPT data files are licensed on an individual (as opposed to concurrent) user basis.

We consider an individual a CPT user if he or she directly accesses CPT data in a product or, in the case where CPT is embedded in a product and not directly accessible, relies on embedded CPT data to perform his or her intended function with the product or its output.
