Licensing Info

In most cases, your choice of license should be based on the number and location of computers you plan to install the font on. If at any point in the future your font license is not sufficient to the number of computers you will be using the fonts on, you may upgrade your license by contacting Font Bureau. These license options are available for automated purchase on our web site.

Single-User License

The single-user license is for one workstation plus limited use on a portable or home computer.

• Single User Font Software License Agreement

Multi-Workstation License

A multi-workstation license allows the user to install the fonts on a specified number of workstations. Licensed workstations must belong to the entity (company or organization) licensing the fonts.

• Multiple User Font Software License Agreement
• Non Editable Embedding License Upgrade for PDF Publishing
  This upgrade adds additional embedding rights to a multi-workstation license. The base license permits embedding of the fonts into non-editable files for output or a limited amount of comping. If you need to embed our fonts in a non-editable PDF that will be distributed to more than 100 recipients, or if you are using the fonts in Flash (or any similar technology which embeds font data) on a web site, then you will need this upgrade. The cost is a one time fee of one third of the original multi-workstation License price.

Corporate Licensing Programs

In some cases, your choice of license is more complicated due to the scale of the user base or intended use for the typefaces. Contact Font Bureau to discuss these licensing options. Below are some examples of our corporate licensing programs:

• Multi-Workstation License with Limited Distribution
  License allows installation of the fonts on a specified number of workstations, so long as all of the licensed workstations belong to the entity (company or organization) licensing the fonts, and to distribute the fonts to a specified number of users outside their entity with a special End User License Agreement (EULA) that limits use of the fonts to work for the client.
• Distribution (OEM) License
  If you would like to incorporate our fonts into your software products in a way where the end of your software product will interact with the font, then you will need to arrange for a special license from Font Bureau.
• Enterprise License
  This is the broadest license we offer. A client purchasing this license is permitted to install the fonts on all workstations owned by the entity (company or organization) licensing the fonts, and to distribute the fonts to anyone outside their entity with a special End User License Agreement (EULA) that limits use of the fonts to work for the client. This license is ideal for a corporate identity situation where, in addition to internal use, the fonts need to be used by affiliates, dealers, distributors, agents, or suppliers of the licensee, in order to create and maintain a brand. This license can also work very well for a product advertising campaign.
