Electronic standards with a single-user licence

All single-user licence electronic standards sold by the Estonian Centre for Standardisation and Accreditation are protected by the FileOpen software. The purpose of implementing the plugin is to reduce the illegal copying and distribution of standards, arising from internationally agreed standard distribution rules and based upon the Copyright Act.

Security
  • A single-user licence standard (PDF file) can be used for an unlimited time on the device where the file is first opened.
  • If you switch devices or encounter another issue, you can transfer the reading rights. To reset licence rights or transfer them to another device, please go to www.evs.ee and log in to your account. Select "Ordered electronic documents" from the dropdown menu under your account, and click the "Reset licence rights" button for the relevant standard. Licence rights cannot be reset more frequently than every 180 days.
  • You can print the standard twice, and once this number is exceeded, the software will block further printing attempts. The software considers each command as printing (e.g. one page or the entire standard).
  • The software does not allow you to copy the text.
  • The software blocks the use of single-user licence standards in the company’s internal network or if there is more than 1 user. An alternative would be a multi-user licence, which allows the opening of one electronic standard in the devices of multiple users and also allows one to save the electronic standards on an internal network.
