If you have acquired a product (e.g. bought it from a shop, downloaded it, 
etc) then you do not need a licence to use it.  I don't have to agree to a 
licence in order to eat the loaf of bread I bought, nor do I have to agree 
to a licence to use the software I bought.

In the case of downloading, then a distribution licence is needed to make 
the downloading itself legal, but the use of the downloaded software does 
not require a licence.
