Single-user access cannot be shared, and can either be assigned to a user (named user) or a device (stand-alone; multi-seat stand-alone)

Multi-user access can be shared, and can be accessed by more than one user or from more than one device (i.e. network server)

Clarity and simplicity contribute to a better customer purchase experience.
