**TL;DR:** Learn how to upload and configure software license agreements in Applivery to ensure users accept the terms before using the software.

Software license agreements vary in type, depending on the nature of the software and the manner in which it is licensed for use by third parties.

As software is protected by copyright law, it must be licensed by the owner to authorize third parties to use it. Software may be distributed either directly by the developer or owner or indirectly through third-party distributors.

An **End User License Agreement** (**EULA**) is a form of software license that grants an end user the right to use the software and defines the terms and conditions for its usage.

EULAs are typically agreements between the software owner or developer (the licensor) and the individual or entity using the software (the licensee).

## Configuration

**Upload the File**

Once in the [**Applivery Dashboard**](https://dashboard.applivery.io), head to the **Resources** 1 section. From the left-hand menu, select the **Books** 2 tab and click the **\+ Upload Book** 3 button.

A modal view will appear, allowing you to upload files in `.pdf`, `.epub`, `.rtf`, `.rtfd` and `.txt` formats.

**Configure your Policy**

After uploading the file, navigate to any of your **Policies** 4 or [create a new one](https://docs.applivery.com/en/device-management/general-settings/create-device-policies/). Select the **Resources** 5 section from the left-hand menu, and click the **\+ Add Resource** button.
