  • IT Security

Shrink-wrapped software normally refers to commercial software packages which come in a shrink-wrapped sealed container-usually for legislative purposes rather than anti-virus measures.... Companies marketing shrink-wrapped software have a large investment in their products and a lot to loose from bad publicity should the products prove to be virus carriers.

  • Sécurité des TI
CONT

On entend généralement par «logiciel scellé» un logiciel de commerce présenté dans un emballage scellé -plus pour des motifs réglementaires qu'à titre de mesure contre les virus. [...] les entreprises diffusant des logiciels scellés investissent beaucoup dans leurs produits et redoutent donc toutes la mauvaise publicité que leur feraient des produits porteurs de virus.

Record 2 1993-02-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • IT Security
CONT

Shrink-wrapped software normally refers to commercial software packages which come in a shrink-wrapped sealed container-usually for legislative purposes rather than anti-virus measures. By breaking the seal, the user implicitly agrees to abide by the manufacturer's terms and conditions. There is also a good chance that the software has not been tampered with from the time it left the manufacturing plant.

On entend généralement par «logiciel scellé» un logiciel du commerce présenté dans un emballage scellé -plus pour des motifs réglementaires qu'à titre de mesure contre les virus. En supprimant le «cachet», l'utilisateur accepte implicitement les conditions du fournisseur. Ceci garantit aussi, dans une certaine mesure, que le logiciel n'a pas été trafiqué depuis sa sortie d'usine.
