Ownership & Use of Software
Ownership & Use of Software
(OP)
Hi All,
Suppose a person owns a company in his name and is working as a consultant, so it is basically a one man company. After that he buys an engineering software, in his name (NOT under the company's name). Suppose in the future, his work expands, and he hires a temporary engineer. Can the worker/engineer use the software legally to produce work/service for the company?
Its a bit confusing because the software belongs to the owner, and not to the company. Any advice will be appreciated.
Regards,

But why not contact the software company and ask?

I'm not even sure why you think there's a problem. It would seem to imply that buying a toy yourself would mean that you couldn't let your children play with it.

I would think it also depends on the type of company you have created too as to what is yours and what is the companies properties.

On the other hand, if you live in one of those countries where tax is complicated, your purchase may now be tax deductible.
