All licenses shall be on a calendar year basis unless otherwise specified by ordinance, license fees shall be prorated on the basis of one-twelfth of the fee for each calendar month, or part thereof remaining in the then current license year. Licenses shall be valid only at one (1) location and on the premises therein described.
