Skype license agreement business use

Hello,
I'm searching the whole skype webpage, but cannot find anything related to my question about the license agreement for business use.
Can anyone tell me (or show me the link) to the page where it is told that i can or cannot use Skype for business use? We are a company of 60 people in The Netherlands, and we want to use Skype in our company to make calls to other users aroud the world. I want to know it this is legal.
We do not need the full version with screen sharing etc. Only video and sound with more that two people in more than to places around the world is fine.
Solved!

This is classic Microsoft at work - read our legal page.  Almost every Microsoft product requires the opinion of one Microsoft license employee and 2 people at a VAR and even after a conference call most people walk away still confused or a recommendation in the "grey".  
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxI hope Nadella can get this fixed and make it simple.  We are not trying to rip you off we are trying to ask basic questions to understand and compare the alternatives - if all you can do is point to your legal agreement you have already failed one of the most basic business rules.
Can you please respond without referring to the legal agreement?
Thanks
I'm neither a Microsoft or Skype employee so I can only offer my observations.  Our society and businesses are based off laws and contracts.  Since legal counsel is often used to draft such agreements a business generally utilizes counsel to decipher areas that might require further clarification. I'm not a lawyer but I have found the Terms of Use to be rather straightforward. If I have to dumb it down further in respect to the original question, it's pretty simple.
Subscriptions are to be used by a singular person and can't be shared.  You can't use subscriptions for call center operations, cold/revenue calling, etc.   Skype's Fair usage policy is well worded (http://www.skype.com/en/legal/fair-usage/).   Skype credit calling doesn't appear to be as restricted.   If your business is making calls that coincide with standard business operations, I don't see how you would be in violation of anything.   If your business operations  are in a legal or possibly moral grey area then it would be better suited to interact with a company that explicitly supports your specific/unique operations.  Of course if those operations are generally considered illegal then no contract or terms of use would legitimize it.

  • Individual license for business use.

    Hi,
    We are development company around 5 people are working. Among 5 employees there is only one Photoshop designer. For one photoshop designer, do i need to buy Individual license or Team license. It seems Adobe providing the license based on the seat(i read somewhere else). I dont know what version should i use.
    Please clarify my doubt.
    Thanks  in advance.

    I've just had a live chat with adobe, from our conversation, I'm convinced that it is legal to use an individual license for business use. Attached screenshot of the live chat and the two screenshots I sent over during livechat to make sure we are on the same page when we're referring to "individual license" and "business license"
    kindly ignore the part I mentioned about Denave Pte Ltd. That's a topic for a different post.

  • Can't open web pdf files from my Reader DC because my IMac wants a completed license agreement to use Reader and I never saw that page during installation.

    Can't open web pdf files from my newly installed Reader DC because my IMac wants a completed license to use agreement to Reader, and I never saw that page during installation.  How do I get past this?

    You need to accept the EULA on first launch of the Reader DC application.
    Go to the Applications folder and launch Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. 
    This will bring up the EULA.
    Select the "Agree" button if you agree with the terms
    Assuming you selected the "Agree" button, Reader DC should open.
    You should now be able to open PDF files in your web browser.

  • Does adobe digital edition need a license for business use?

    I would like to find out if a license is required to install Adobe Digital Editions for use in a business?

    I'm giving the same advice a few times on different threads, so I hope it's right.
    Digital Editions recognizes most dedicated eBook readers (as in the list) directly so they show up in ADE,
    but does not recognize tablets that have eBook capabilities.
    This includes android tablets (probably including KoboArc), and ios tablets such as iPad.
    If you have a tablet, you need to install an eBook reading app on it: I suggest Bluefire.
    Make sure Bluefire app is registered to the same AdobeID as your ADE.
    You can then copy epub files from your PC/Mac using a file manager and read them using Bluefire.
    (Apple makes it more difficult, you need iTunes, Dropbox or similar to copy).
    If the books are not DRM, there is no need to use ADE at all;
    either download them direct to the tablet and read on Bluefire, or download to the PC/Mac and copy.
    For DRM library books you will find an Overdrive app that allows books to be checked out, downloaded and read directly on an android/ios device.
    There are also dedicated apps from various vendors.

  • Use Skype for a business. What is the best way to ...

    We have a new business that is starting and a lot of the work will be done by people in different parts of the United States. We would like to have incoming calls be to 1 number, and have them be able to select whom or which department they need. If a calling tree is not available not a big problem.
    We also would like to have control of the skype account so it can be assigned, and if then reassigned based on personnel change. We are unsure of how you control this or if it can be controlled. We are assuming that would could simply change a password and then someone new could use it. We know that on a personal account the user would be able to take control as they can see the account info and change the primary email and reset the password. Unable to find anything out about a business account.
    We would like to set up each account on a subcription, that has a number and unlimited calling in the US and voicemail.
    Would love to be able to talk to any business person that has used skype on a business level so we know what it can do well, and what it can't do at all.
    Thank You,
    Kevin

    If you have an SSD you can run the cache and programs on the same drive.  However, many recommend a scratch disk size of 100-200 gigs so that will not work here unless you opt for a larger SSD.  Otherwise an internal spinner is recommended that does not contain the program files, or idealy any other files that may want to get acessed at same time (only one read/write head per drive).
    With 32 gig of RAM you may not need the constant use of the scratch drive unless working on large images with lots of layers.  So see no advantage to moving folder to SSD for temp work environment.
    From what I read the new crop of SSD do not have the wear problems of the older versions.

  • Can I use Skype for my business?

    Hi,
    I have a SKype number and been using it for my business for a year already. Today I've received an email from Skype saying that I can't use Skype for commercial purpose. I'm confused because I've seen so many people saying that they use Skype for their business. Here's the message I've just received:
    "We have noticed some prohibited usage of your subscription.
    We will continue to monitor your account, your calling behavior and your overall activity using Skype. If the prohibited usage still continues, your subscription will be disconnected. You will no longer be able to use or purchase any of Skype’s paid-for products.
    The suspension of your access to Skype paid-for products will be permanent and you will be unable to transfer any existing products to a new Skype account, or receive a refund. However, you will be able to continue to make Skype-to-Skype calls and send instant messages.
    We remind you that Skype’s products are for personal, individual and non-commercial use only. Our Fair Usage Policy can be found within our term of uses. Our subscriptions cannot be shared or used for commercial gain, such as telemarketing or call centre operations"
    Do I have to register for a business account or what? Or what should I do now? This number have been using as my business contact and I can't change it. Please help.

  • CC Individuals License vs Business License for Commercial Use

    Can you use Creative Cloud "Individuals" license as opposed to "Business" license for commercial use if there is only one employee in the company using the applications?

    As far as I know, there are no restrictions on what you DO with the software, bit there are different kinds of Cloud accounts based on how many licenses you wish to buy

  • Adobe Software License Agreement pops up over and over when I try to use Acrobat. Even after I "Acce

    Adobe Software License Agreement pops up over and over when I try to use Acrobat. Even after I "Accept".

    I have the same problem as Pam101. I am on OS X 10.9 and Safari 7 (actually on 2 iMacs). The one iMac is fine but the other with the same versions and settings Adobe Reader will not work. What happens is the Adobe Reader icon appears on the dock, bounces once and that's it. When trying to open a .pdf file from a website a new tab is opened on Safari, the background is black and there is a pop up message (black test on a white background) that reads: "Adobe PDF Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement." This is all very well but if Adobe Reader will not launch how on earth is it possible to accept the End User License Agreement terms? Very, very annoying, especially since it all works just fine if I launch a .pdf file from a website using Chrome. What is going on here and who do I talk to in order to fix this problem - Apple or Adobe?

  • License agreement prompts after each use

    Ok, I repaired the permissions and restarted the computer and that didn't work. Then I moved the preference files to the desktop and restarted and that didn't work. However I could not open the ByHost folder to move those preference files to the desktop. It says I don't have sufficient privileges. Do you know anyway around that?
