License agreement, registration?

Question

CMS

Good afternoon
There is a software product (commercial content management system), there is a software registration certificate.
What actions still need to be taken in order to sell copies (this is a non-exclusive license)?
When selling, can I issue an invoice-offer referring to the license agreement?
Does the license agreement itself need to be registered somewhere or is it just enough to compose a text?
Are there companies who can draw up the correct text of the agreement based on the conditions?
Thanks

The first thing you need to do in order to conduct commercial activities is to register an individual entrepreneur or legal entity. person (legal entity) ... LLC, for example, and decide on the taxation regime, open a current account.
To sell licenses (but legally this is not a sale, but granting the right to use a computer program - a simple (non-exclusive) license ...) you need the created legal entity to have the right to distribute software (transfer it to third parties), accordingly, you must provide the legal entity with an exclusive license or transfer an exclusive right. The IP does not need to do this if the IP itself is directly the author.
To sell licenses, you just need to develop a license agreement (a simple (non-exclusive) license), which at least describes in detail the methods and procedure for using the software, territory, terms, amount and procedure for paying remuneration (these are essential conditions).
