“License Holder” refers to the person or legal entity granted rights under this license, which must be know at the time of purchase.

“License Administrator” refers to the person who purchased the license and manages the email account used for the purchase. They must be either the License Holder, an employee of the License Holder, or someone directed by the License Holder to manage the license.
