How many people can use the product that you have bought or subscribed to?
We offer limited user licences and corporate licences.
- Limited user licences (single user, up to 5 users, up to 10 users) are site licences. All users need to be at the customer’s same place of business.
- The “multi-user licence” for more than 10 users or standard corporate licence (unlimited users, 1 location) allows you to share the material (electronically or hard copies) with an unlimited number of users, but all of them need to be at the customer’s same place of business.
- The global corporate licence (unlimited users, multiple locations) allows you to share the material (electronically or hard copies) with an unlimited number of users who can be working at the customer’s place of business or for any of customer’s affiliates (as defined in the IEA's terms and conditions).
Please note that in all cases when you purchase a product or service from the website, you are agreeing to the IEA's standard terms and conditions.
Please contact:
- [email protected] if your intended use is not permitted under the IEA’s terms and conditions; and
- [email protected] if you wish to use more than an insubstantial amount of the IEA’s material in any type of modelling for the purpose of creating derived data or derived products, and any services to distribute or display such derived products where such derived products or services are regular and/or revenue-generating.

What are you allowed to do with a single user licence for a product or service?
The single user licence only permits one user to access and use the material: this user needs to be registered on the licence and will be able to download the material on several devices, as many items as needed. The single user is permitted to store one hard copy only of non-data purchased products in the relevant Customer’s library and/or circulate that hard copy amongst other individuals working at the Customer’s place of business. The single user is not allowed to share data, even offline, even within the same team.
If several users need access to the material, please purchase the licence corresponding to that number of users (you can request an upgrade of your licence by clicking on "Upgrade" from your licence details page.)

How do you access a product or service you just purchased?
IEA digital products and data services are sold on a "seat licence" basis. To access a products that you purchased you will first need to assign the product to yourself and/or the intended user(s) from your licences page.
Users assigned to a licence will receive a notification inviting them to create an IEA account if they do not already have one.
You can see all the products you have access to on your products page, which is accessible from the user menu at the top right of the page once you are logged in (hover over the circle to the right of the main menu showing your initials). This is where you can download the data or reports and access your online data services.
If you paid online by credit card, your licence will be active as soon as your order is completed.
If you paid by bank transfer, the licence is activated as soon as your payment is confirmed. This usually takes 2-3 business days from the time the payment is processed.
You can check the status of your payment on your orders page.
