Legal use of purchased icon suites?

How can I use them?

March 20, 2007 5:14 PM from

What are the legal terms of the retail icon suites? I purchased the Orion Icon Suite a while back and, while it's been great for enhancing my windows environment, I'm interested in using them on my website to add a little flare to the design.

Is there a royalty fee I must pay to use them in such a way? Or is it okay so long as I'm not selling the icons themselves?

Any clarification regarding the legal usage of these icons would be greatly appreciated!

Purchased or free, permitted use is Personal only. That means icons, skins, etc are for your usege on your own computer. Public display [use] via website inclusion would be classified as public distribution which is outside the bounds of the typical product's copyright.

To be permitted to re-use in a commercial/public manner specific consent within an EULA [or similar] would be needed....
