right to use

License to operate

Right to use is legal or contractual permission to access or utilize something without owning it.

Software licenses grant a right to use the program rather than ownership of the code itself.

The phrase appears in leases, intellectual property agreements, and access arrangements: The subscription gives you the right to use the platform for one year.

Distinguished from ownership, a right to use can be revoked, expire, or come with restrictions on how the thing may be used.
