When I sell software I’ve written I send the customer a End User License Agreement that I got from a draft template on the web (see link below). One large customer I recently worked with has contacted my as they say this is just a EULA and not a license. What is the difference?

Thanks for the help.

IANAL but in my opinion, the license would state the limitations of their ownership of their copy of the software. I think a EULA better describes the limitation of the proper use of the software and your liability or lack there of based on the use of the software.
I.E. a license won’t say “don’t use this to hack somebody” while a EULA would say “we’re not responsible if you use this for malicious purposes.” Likewise the EULA might not mention who in the company is allowed to use it, but a license can say things ranging from “5 developers in your company” or “any developer employed by you” or whatever limitations you want to apply.
