Legal Question in Technology Law in India

Re: Renting a software

Please check the terms of the license when you purchased the software. If the terms permit you to rent the software, then your problem comes to an end. If jwoever, the terms of your licence do not permit you to do so, then you cannot rent out the software, in any form whatsoever.To do so would be an illegality and you would be visited with the attendant consequences. The terms of your licence agreement are most important in this regard.

Re: Renting a software

The issue to be addressed here is not whether renting is possible or not in India. The issue to be looked at is what are the terms of your license.

If your licensed software allows you to rent / sub-licence it onwards, there is no restriction for you to do so in Inda. Therefore, the document that you need to look at is the license of the software that you have.

Warm regards,

Sajai
