>dont properly say it is a license
Digital licenses are established as their own thing under EU law. They are neither goods nor services but digital content is generally treated as closer to a product.
here is the law verbatim:
>Directive (EU) 2019/770, Recital 56:
>Digital content or digital services can be supplied to consumers through a single act of supply or in multiple sequential acts of supply over a period of time. The distinctive element of this category of digital content or digital service is the fact that consumers thereafter have the possibility to access and use the digital content or digital service indefinitely. This should be the case, for example, where a consumer downloads a film, an application or an e-book."

Earlier in the document it distinguishes 'digital content' as something that is purchased by the customer via a "single act of supply", meaning you buy it and it's yours forever. If you were to buy a copy of The Crew for example, your copy of The Crew should continue to be playable indefinitely.
If you wish to supply a service then you must engage in a subscription-based model, such as a monthly fee. If you charge the customer once then it is expected that they will keep their product forever.
