right-to-use

License to utilize

Right-to-use describes a licensing arrangement where someone pays for permission to use something—software, property, a service—without actually owning it.

The term appears in contracts and accounting: The company acquired right-to-use licenses for the database software.

Unlike ownership, right-to-use typically comes with restrictions on modification, transfer, or duration.
