Spanish term or phrase:acuerdo ecónomico de licencias
Please do not give me dictionary definitions or google definitions. I am only interested in your experience if 1) you know it because you have encountered it 2) you know why it wouldn't just be or would be: A Licensing Agreement...and can argue that. Thanx in advance.
Jane Lamb-Ruiz (asker): 7:38pm Apr 8, 2004: Henry - What would be the difference between the term i asked and plain, old "'acuerdo de licencias?? I think the answer may lie in that difference. Is there a difference in Spanish between the 2 phrases? Thanx Jane Lamb-Ruiz (asker): 7:53pm Apr 8, 2004: I found BUsiness License Agreement - Does that work? Jane Lamb-Ruiz (asker): 2:07pm Apr 9, 2004: Excuse my insistence, Henry - Look, there is a difference between my signing an agreement with your company to use your software (license agreement or enduser license agreement) and my signing (my company) signing an agreement with your company for my company to then license the technology to other end users...See what I mean? IBM signs with HONDA and ONLY Honda uses the software versus IBM signs with BLAH BLAH BLAH for that BLAH BLAH BLAH will now turn around and license to a bunch of end users...I think maybe that is the distinction being made here...Also, economico can be business OR financial, right...so, I am leaning to business licensing agreement in the sense of relicensing to end users...sorry to belabor the point but ....:)
Explanation: Don't see why not; maybe "licensing" if it fits.

\"Acuerdo ecónomico de licencias\" has that word \"ecónomico\" in there, which tells me that it is a \"financial\" agreement that concerns licenses.

Business License Agreement would not seem to work either because something different would be understood. The expression as written may be rather uncommon, but I would leave \"financial\" in, it appears to be there for a specific purpose.
That may become more apparent if you actually get to translate the agreement, but perhaps you don\'t, for such is often the life of the poor translator.

Yes, I see your comment, and what you really need to do then is to study the entire context that you have and make an informed decision as to what the best term would be based on the specific nature of the agreement itself... that is, if you have it. (see my comment above)
Maybe you could also do some more research on the Net. What else? Or just quit agonizing and use whatever sounds most reasonable, it\'s a rather generic rendition.
