[Font Management](https://www.extensis.com/extensis-blog/tag/font-management)

If you manage a team, or are responsible for the technology used by teams, you know that getting the right type and number of software licenses is critical to keeping your team productive.

You may even have the title of Software Asset Manager. If you do, you know how critical it is to have all of your installed software appropriately licensed and ready for any potential audit.

What you might not be aware of is that fonts are also licensed software and need to be treated in many of the same ways as your other software licenses. Not only that, you may need to pay extra attention to them as the EULAs covering their use vary wildly across retailers and foundries.

We invited software licensing expert, Henry W. Jones III, to explore this issue.
