Google how deal with licensed content when this placed on vendor & client's website too. Will Google penalize the client's site for this ?

One of my client bought licensed content from top vendor of Health Industry.

This same content is on the vendor's website & my client's site also but on my site there is a link back to vendor is placed which clearly tells to anyone that this is a licensed content & we bought from this vendor.

My client bought paid top quality content for best source of industry but at this same this is placed on vendor's website also. Will Google penalize my client's website for this ?

Niche is HEALTH

As long as you do not overdo the content spinning (that is the word you are looking for) Say 10 or more copies of the same content and it is on purpose you will not be in trouble.

The worst thing that can happen in this case is that the vendor of the content gets the credit for the content. This can happen but often google cannot or does not know what was first. Even with the link to the original content you might come up in google very high (and higher than the vendor) on specifick keywords.

And, you did everything you could to credit the original website. Make sure you have a good maintained website with it's own design and that not all content is from this vendor (add your own articles and content)

If you want to prevent your website for getting any value from it you could add a canonical tag. (but i would not do that)

Thanks Stramark for your answer. So, I am feeling from your expert advice this is not bad at all to buy content from them.

We already did & doing things as you mentioned

1. Canonical tag

2. Good & creative website design

3. Regularly updating the content in website via Blog section

4. Content bought only for specfic section of website so rest of content is original & written by us

But our DA is 55 & Vendor's DA is 94 . Is this a reason worrry for us because Vendor's have more high reputation than us. Is DA  a metric for us or Google will also see this ?

DA is Moz's estimate of the importance of domains in relation to each other. Google does this themselves, so it's not that they "see" DA, but they have something similar.

As long as you don't expect the content from the vendor to bring you organic traffic, you should be okay. You said you have the canonical in place to them, so as long as that is there, there should be no impact from algorithm updates. You wouldn't be penalized for this.
