The ECLASS Standard can be used on the basis of two different license types. Both license types contain all available languages as well as both export formats, ECLASS BASIC and ECLASS ADVANCED.
So what’s the difference between the Concordance License and a Single License? What type of license do I need?

A Single License grants license rights for a single ECLASS Release.
It includes both export formats for the release – that is, both ECLASS BASIC and ECLASS ADVANCED – as well as all available languages.
A Concordance License includes all* ECLASS Releases and all* Update Files.
It also includes both export formats for the release – both ECLASS BASIC and ECLASS ADVANCED – as well as all available languages. The Concordance License has a minimum term of validity of three years.
This type of license is advantageous for you if you need more than one ECLASS Release.
*all = all already-published releases and update files, as well as all future releases and update files published during the Concordance License’s term of validity.
