You may well feel that you don t need to take the trouble; both sets of licences are designed to give the same bundle of rights as the generic licences, so that they can be used worldwide. However, we feel that there are advantages to switching: to a Scottish licence if you live in Scotland, or an English licence if you live in England or Wales (neither set should be used if you live in Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man; use the generic licence). These licences have been designed to be fully compatible with national contract and copyright law.
