How do the licence transactions work? 

Licences are completed online. AEShareNet brings the concept of manual, paper based licence contracts into 

the online world through our transaction system. The basic steps for a negotiated licence agreement are as 

follows: 

licensee locates a product of interest on the AEShareNet catalogue  

licensee requests licence  

licensee is notified by email of the licence request  

licensor offers a  draft  licence to the licensee based on negotiations/pre determined pricing model  

licensee is notified by email of the draft licence generated  

licensee accepts the licence contract online  

licensee and licensor notified by email of the acceptance of the licence  

tax invoices generated and distributed to both parties by email
