Internal License

  • The internal licenses allow the vendor to produce products intended to be sold directly to the University that are not for resale. (This does not include sales to the University Bookstore.)
  • The University has two internal license types - royalty bearing and royalty exempt. It is recommended that all vendors applying for an internal license apply for both types so the vendor can fulfill all potential orders from internal departments and organizations.
