Procurement - Concept
Per-seat licensing
Charging for software according to how many people are allowed to use it
What's it for?
Makes software cost depend on how many people are allowed to use it.
For example…
Adding ten employees means paying for ten more software seats.
A CRM costs £40 per seat each month, so 100 licensed users cost £4,000 per month even if some rarely log in
Think of it like…
Buying theatre tickets: one ticket per person in the audience, unused seats still paid for if you booked them
