licensees
Those granted permission
Licensees are people or entities that have been granted a license—official permission to do something that would otherwise be restricted.
The term appears most often in legal and business contexts: The software company notified all licensees of the updated terms.
A licensee might hold rights to use intellectual property, sell alcohol, operate a broadcast station, or practice a profession.
