Software Licensing Issues

profilenegkafou

Hypothetical company Jossup Enterprises has created a unique security protection program that checks the integrity of files downloaded into a designated system while also monitoring system and file access.  Jossup plans to license this program to customers for a substantial fee on a per user basis. 

What legal issues might Jossup encounter and how would you advise it construct it's licensing contracts to avoid those legal issues?  I have gathered some links to help you start your research.  The last link will take you to an actual example of a software license on a per-user basis.
