Who counts as a “User?” A "User” means any person at your company who downloads, manipulates, edits, modifies or saves the sound effects; is directly involved in the creative process utilizing sound effects; or incorporates the sound effects within any work. For schools, each student, faculty member, and administrator directly accessing the library counts as a User - don't worry, schools have a totally different pricing scheme than a company.
