Can you explain these French terms to me?

Can anyone tell me the difference between "monoposte" and "multiposte"?
I'm trying to get ordering information for a CD-ROM from a French company. There are two different versions--one is marked "monoposte" and the other is "multipostes 5 acces". The monoposte one costs about a thousand dollars less. My French reading abilities are passable, but these seem to be technological terms and I have no idea what they mean. Both CDs seem to be intended for PC use from the descriptions, so can anyone explain the difference to me? I don't want to order something only to have it not work on our computers. If anyone can help, I would be very grateful!

Best answer: It's the license agreement. 'Monoposte' refers to a single license while 'multipostes' is a multiuser license (which is accordingly more expensive).
