A type of
software piracy that occurs when
users share their
software with other users who are
not authorized to have access by the End-User License Agreement (
EULA).
The most common type of softlifting occurs when a person does legitimately
purchase software but
installs it onto multiple
computers which is a violation of the licensing agreement. Softlifting may
also be called
softloading or
end-user piracy.
See software piracy.
