reemplazo del grupo licenciatario para un producto ya vendido Explanation: a string is a combination of manufacturers or dealers who agree among themselves to control market prices and conditions for their own advantage. In many countries, such combinations are illegal unless they are in the public interest. Business English by J.H.Adam |

condiciones para la licencia de sustitución (de un producto de software) Explanation: "String" means a lot of things, a string of things actually. In this case means "set of conditions" that is: a "string of conditions", and utterance-saving English speakers we know they can't help themselves, so chuck half a phrase and there you have it. Life is a context beach... Salud :) shorter, collins |
