What types of licenses does Air-port-codes offer?
Air-port-codes offers two types of licenses: standard and extended. Every file downloaded from Air-port-codes comes with a standard license.

Who, besides me, can use the licensed content?

Employer or client. If you are purchasing on behalf of your employer or client, then your employer or client can use the content. In that case, you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind your employer or client to the terms of this agreement. If you do not have that authority, then your employer or client may not use the content.

Unless you purchase an extended license, you may not store the content on a server (giving more than one person simultaneous access to the content).
If you licensed the content with a subscription, this means that only one person (the same person) may access, license and use the content.
If you need more than a single user to access the content:
