I have bought a copy of ISO Guide 32 & a copy of ISO Guide 33 through ISO website.
Since I have bought single copy which is restricted to single user, my question is, is it restricted to single person or single user organization (with different departments)

:thanks:

Read your EULA (end user license agreement). Your question will be answered there. If you are still unsure, please contact ISO by phone.

Carol is right - Check the EULA, but I would also email the copyright holder, explain your situation and ask what their policy is. Typically you can share the copy you paid for by passing the original between people, but when you come to copying the copy you bought and sharing those copies would be an issue you would have to contact the copyright holder about. Typically copying the copy you bought and passing out the copies within the company is not allowed. Usually copyright holders will have some type of pricing program for organizations.

Now - Copying a part of the document and 'sharing' the copies of a part gets into a gray area which in the public domain is somewhat protected by 'fair use'.

Thanks alot for your guidance.
The conclusion is that we can share the copy with other users & its not against the law unless we copy the copies &/ or distribute those copies to others.:thanks:
