How about "license-based applications". Usually used to refer to
applications that must be "installed", thus requiring a license. So, it
can't be a web application because those don't require licenses to run
them, only user access (user ID/password).

A license-based application must be installed and requires that each user
has a valid license to run it. blah blahblah

Really? Notepad is a non-Web application, but you don't need a license to run it. (I know you need a license for Windows, but Notepad is a separate application, and it doesn't require its own license.)

The term I hear consistently in the Windows world is "desktop application." Wouldn't that work elsewhere, too?
