Fonts purchased and downloaded from FontShop.com are licensed for the number of users you enter in the cart (note: some foundries license CPUs rather than users. Read the foundry's EULA for a complete specification). The basic license varies from foundry to foundry, but usually licenses 1-5 users, with a multi-user license (MUL) required thereafter. Ordering online makes licensing easy. MUL(s) are applied automatically when you enter the number of users, and the price adjusts automatically. (Please call us for MULs beyond 1000 users.)

If your online order includes an MUL, you will receive further documentation in the mail for your records. With your online order you receive the applicable End User License Agreements (EULAs) for the fonts. It is a good idea to read and understand your license to use the fonts, as use beyond the EULA requires additional licensing. Should you later wish to broaden your license to allow more users than originally licensed, please contact us.
