Definitions

Term Definition
Authorized User Means a single user that has been authorized by Licensee to use the Licensed Software or any device or other software program that may access the Licensed Software, either directly or indirectly through any other software program, regardless of how such access occurs or if such individual uses any hardware or software that reduces the apparent number of users who are using the Licensed Software, such as by using a terminal service.
Batch Processing Means the execution of one or more tasks, transactions or programs by a computer system without the continuous interaction of the end user with the Licensed Software for the entire period during which each such task, transaction or program is being executed by the system. Batch processing includes situations where a queue of jobs is processed as resources become available and is in contrast to transaction or interactive processing.
Concurrent Users Means individuals who, at the same point in time, have accessed or used the Licensed Software via any device or other software program, directly or indirectly, regardless of how such access occurs or whether such user uses any hardware or software that reduces the apparent number of users who are using the Licensed Software, such as by using a terminal service.
Container Means an isolated user-space instance created using operating-system-level virtualization, also known as containerization. A program running inside a Container whether standalone or using an orchestration technology, can only see the resources and devices assigned to the Container. Examples of such container technologies include Docker and podman and examples of orchestrators include Kubernetes and Open Shift.
Core Means a physical (not virtual) subunit within a CPU on a single chip that handles the main computational activities of a computer. A CPU may have one or more Cores and therefore be a "Multicore CPU" if it has more than one Core.
CPU or Central Processing Unit Means a data processing unit, normally identified with a single microchip mounted on a single circuit board and can comprise several Cores.
E-LTU and E-Media Means products which are electronically delivered only, and as such any reference to FOB Destination or delivery methods that are stated on your purchase order other than electronic shall be null and void with respect to these E-LTU or E-Media products.
Hard Partitioning Means using hard physical partitioning to physically segment a single larger server or machine into separate and distinct smaller systems where each separate system acts as a physically independent, self-contained server or machine with its own CPUs, operating system, separate boot area, memory, input/output subsystem and network resources (each known as a "Hard Partition"). Examples of Hard Partitioning methods include: Dynamic System Domains (DSD) -- enabled by Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR), Solaris Zones (also known as Solaris Containers, capped Zones/Containers only), IBM LPAR (adds DLPAR with AIX 5.2), IBM Micro-Partitions (capped partitions only), vPar, nPar, Integrity Virtual Machine (capped partitions only), Secure Resource Partitions (capped partitions only), and Fujitsu's PPAR. All approved hard partitioning technologies must have a capped or a maximum number of Cores/processors for the given partition.
Named User Means a single user that has been authorized by Licensee to use the Licensed Software.
Platform Means a hardware chipset (e.g., PA-RISC, Itanium, x86, or SPARC) and operating system (e.g., Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX) combination. Each unique Linux distribution is considered a different operating system from other Linux distributions and a different Platform even with the same hardware chipset.
Soft Partitioning Means using an operating system resource manager to segment and limit the number of Cores, CPUs, or other processing devices utilized by the Licensed Software by creating areas where processor resources are allocated and limited within the same operating system (each such area known as a "Soft Partition"). Examples of such Soft Partitioning include: Solaris 9 Resource Containers, AIX Workload Manager, HP Process Resource Manager, Affinity Management, Oracle VM, and VMware.
Virtual Machine Means a software implementation that can run its own operating system and execute programs like a physical machine where the software running inside the virtual machine is limited to the resources and abstractions provided by the virtual machine.

License Options

The following License Options are the types of licenses available for a given software product as further specified in this ALA. The applicable License Option for a license shall be as set forth in the Applicable Agreement or Product Order. Those products with only one License Option available shall be governed by such License Option whether or not stated in the Applicable Agreement or Product Order unless otherwise agreed in writing between Licensee and Licensor.

Named User License

Licensed Software provided under this License Option gives Licensee the right to install the Licensed Software on a single physical or Virtual Machine or server, or one or more Containers on such single physical or Virtual Machine or server, for use solely by the number of Named Users expressly authorized by Licensor in the Product Order for such license for whom Licensee has paid the applicable license fee. Each such Named User has the right to unlimited access to the Licensed Software on such single machine or server. A Named User License is required for each Named User that uses an installation of the Licensed Software. For example, if Named User A and Named User B both use the same two separate installations of the Licensed Software, a total of four Named User Licenses would be required for such use. Licensor reserves the right at any time to require Licensee to provide a list of the Named Users. Licensee may change a Named User provided that the change is made either (i) permanently, or (ii) temporarily to accommodate the use of the Licensed Software by a temporary worker while the Named User is absent, but in each case no more than once every 30 days. Licensee may not use the Licensed Software for user acceptance testing, system/load testing, production or deployment. For purposes of this ALA, a Named User License is considered to be a Development License.

Concurrent User License

Licensed Software provided under this License Option gives Licensee the right to install the Licensed Software on multiple physical or Virtual Machine host machines or servers, or one or more Containers on such physical or Virtual Machine host machines or servers, for use solely by the maximum number of Concurrent Users expressly authorized by Licensor in the Product Order for such license for whom Licensee has paid the applicable license fee. Licensee may not use the Licensed Software for user acceptance testing, system/load testing, production or deployment. For purposes of this ALA, a Concurrent User License is considered to be a Development License.

User License (Authorized Users)

Licensed Software provided under this License Option gives Licensee the right to install the Licensed Software on an unlimited number of physical or Virtual Machine servers or Containers for use by up to the total number of Authorized Users expressly authorized by Licensor in the Product Order for such license for whom Licensee has paid the applicable license fee. The Licensed Software may not be used or accessed by (i) individuals who are not Authorized Users; or (ii) any other software or hardware device that does not require an individual to use or access it, including, without limitation, Batch Processing. Licensor reserves the right at any time to require Licensee to provide a list of the Authorized Users. Licensee may change an Authorized User provided that the change is made either (i) permanently, or (ii) temporarily to accommodate the use of the Licensed Software by a temporary worker while the Authorized User is absent, but in no event more than once every 30 days. This License Option may be further subject to the Additional License Options set forth below in this ALA. For purposes of this ALA, a User License (Authorized Users) is considered to be a Deployment License.

Server License (Concurrent Users)

Licensed Software provided under this License Option gives Licensee the right to install the Licensed Software on a single physical machine or server or Virtual Machine, or one or more Containers on such physical single machine or server or Virtual Machine, for use by the maximum number of Concurrent Users expressly authorized by Licensor in the Product Order for such license for whom Licensee has paid the applicable license fee. The Licensed Software may not be used or accessed by any other software or hardware device that does not require an individual to use or access it including, without limitation, Batch Processing. A Server License (Concurrent Users) cannot be split into multiple licenses of lesser quantity (e.g., a license for 10 Concurrent Users cannot be split into two licenses of five Concurrent Users each) without Licensor’s prior written consent and possible provision of different license keys. This License Option may be further subject to the Additional License Options set forth below in this ALA. For purposes of this ALA, a Server License (Concurrent Users) is considered to be a Deployment License.

Server License (per core) or Server License (per IFL)

Licensed Software provided under this License Option gives Licensee the right to install the Licensed Software on a single physical machine or server ("Host Server"), or one or more Containers on the Host Server (provided such Containers are not running in a Soft Partition or Virtual Machine unless Licensee has purchased the Virtualization License Extension or otherwise been granted such rights separately from Micro Focus), and have the Licensed Software executed by up to the total number of (i) Cores in the case of a Server License (per core), or (ii) Integrated Facility for Linux processors ("IFLs") in the case of a Server License (per IFL), specified for the license in the applicable Product Order ("License Specification"). If the number of Cores is not specified for a CPU in the event a CPU is specified in the License Specification, such CPU shall be considered to be single-Core. A license covering all physical Cores or IFLs, as applicable, that are contained in and/or can be accessed by the Host Server ("Total Processors") is required with all applicable license fees paid, even if one or more of such Cores or IFLs are not accessing or running the Licensed Software for any reason, including, for example, installation of the Licensed Software in a Container that has fewer than the Total Processors allocated to it. For example, if 32 Cores are the Total Processors on the Host Server, but only 16 Cores are utilized to execute the Licensed Software, a 32-Core license is required notwithstanding the fact that 16 of the 32 Cores may not actually be accessing the Licensed Software. Each Core on a multi-core CPU requires a license covering each such Core. For example a Host Server with Total Processors consisting of a single quad-core CPU will require a 4-Core license.

Licensed Software provided under this License Option is for use by an unlimited number of Licensee’s internal users, other software devices and hardware devices. Server License (per core) and Server License (per IFL) are the only license types authorized for any Batch Processing. Licensor reserves the right at any time to require Licensee to provide a specification of the Host Server. Licensee is required to purchase a license for the Total Processors on each Host Server that accesses or uses the Licensed Software either directly or indirectly through any other software program, regardless of how such access occurs, or if the Host Server, CPU or operator uses any hardware or software that reduces the apparent number of Cores, IFLs, or other processing devices that are using the Licensed Software, such as by using a terminal service. This License Option may be further subject to the Additional License Options set forth below in this ALA. For purposes of this ALA, a Server License (per core) and Server License (per IFL) are considered to be Deployment Licenses.

The following additional License Options may also apply to one of the License Options above if set forth in the applicable Product Order notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this ALA:

Test License

Licensed Software provided under this License Option gives Licensee a limited license to use the Licensed Software solely for Licensee’s internal testing purposes on a single computer subject to this section and the restrictions applicable to the type of license specified in the applicable Product Order (e.g., Server License (per core)) as set forth elsewhere in this ALA. In the event of a conflict, the terms and conditions in this section shall prevail. At no time may Licensee use the Licensed Software for development, commercial, or production purposes, nor may Licensee reproduce or distribute the Licensed Software or any software application programs created with it. Licensee’s results of benchmark or other performance tests run on or using the Licensed Software may not be disclosed to any third party without Licensor’s prior written consent.

Disaster Recovery License

Licensed Software provided under this License Option gives Licensee a limited license to use the Licensed Software solely on a Disaster Recovery System subject to this section and the restrictions applicable to the type of license specified in the applicable Product Order (e.g., Server License (per core)) as set forth elsewhere in this ALA. In the event of a conflict, the terms and conditions in this section shall prevail. A Disaster Recovery System is a single machine on which the Licensed Software is installed but is not instantiated, running, or otherwise in use except: (i) if a disaster arises and the single machine for which the Disaster Recovery System is configured to recover or replace (known as the "Primary Machine" in this clause) is unavailable, (ii) for the purposes of periodic disaster recovery testing, and/or (iii) for periodic system diagnostics or maintenance of the Disaster Recovery System itself. A Disaster Recovery License cannot be used: (a) concurrently with any other license for the Licensed Software or in any production, test, or development environments except while the Primary Machine is being recovered or replaced in a disaster recovery situation, or (b) for load-balancing, failover, testing (other than disaster recovery testing), clustering, or training purposes. Additional copies for use in production, test, and/or development environments, or for load-balancing, failover, clustering, or training purposes, must be purchased separately. The license quantity and metric of any Disaster Recovery License installed may not be less than the license quantity and metric of the standard license for the Licensed Software on the Primary Machine.

Failover License

Licensed Software provided under this License Option gives Licensee a limited license to use the Licensed Software solely on a Failover System subject to this section and the restrictions applicable to the type of license specified in the applicable Product Order (e.g., Server License (per core)) as set forth elsewhere in this ALA. A Failover System is a single machine on which the Licensed Software is installed and running, but only used to prepare for the recovery or replacement of the single machine for which the Failover System is configured to recover or replace (known as the "Primary Machine" in this clause), up to and including real-time data backups, mirroring, or any other activity to allow a synchronized switch-over from the Primary Machine. Licensee may not use the Failover License for any other purpose such as production, testing (other than failover testing), development, or training except during a disaster where the Primary Machine is unavailable. Licensee may not use the Licensed Software for load-balancing or clustering; a separate license for each of those use cases is required to be purchased by Licensee. The license quantity and metric of any Failover License installed may not be less than the license quantity and metric of the standard license for the Licensed Software on the Primary Machine.

Batch License

Where any Licensed Software is designated as a Batch License or "Batch-Only" in the applicable Product Order using such description or similar terminology, such Licensed Software may only be used to perform batch processing on a single computer subject to the restrictions applicable to the type of license specified in the applicable Product Order (e.g., Server License (per core)) as set forth elsewhere in this ALA. In the event of a conflict, the terms and conditions in this section shall prevail.

Virtualization License Extension

For a license for which a Virtualization License Extension has been purchased, the restrictions applicable to the type of license specified in the applicable Product Order (e.g., Server License (per core)) as set forth elsewhere in this ALA for such license shall apply subject to the terms in this clause. For as long as such license is current on support and maintenance with Licensor, such license can be installed, used, or accessed on, in, or from a Virtual Machine. Such license may not be installed or used in a public cloud service. With respect to licenses based on processing devices such as Cores, the Licensed Software may be installed and used on any number of instances provided that the collective amount of licensed processing devices accessible by those instances does not exceed the applicable license quantity. For example, for Core-based licenses, the license can be used on any number of instances provided that the collective amount of Cores or vCPUs accessible by those instances does not exceed the applicable license quantity. An instance may be within a single Virtual Machine or Container that is not necessarily tied to just one physical machine. Licensee may make one (1) failover or disaster recovery copy of the Virtual Machine or Container in which the Licensed Software is installed and instantiate such Virtual Machine or Container in the event and for as long as the primary installation is unavailable.

Third Party Usage License Extension

For a license for which a Third Party Usage License Extension has been purchased, such license can be used by third party contractors of Licensee, notwithstanding any restriction to the contrary in the Applicable Agreement, provided that (1) each such third party is under a written obligation of confidentiality and restrictions of use which provide for protections and limitations of use of the license no less restrictive than the Applicable Agreement, (2) the license will only be used on behalf of Licensee, (3) such use is subject to the terms and conditions of the Applicable Agreement, and (4) Licensee remains liable for any breach by any such third party of the terms of the Applicable Agreement.

Off Continent License Extension

For a license for which an Off Continent License Extension has been purchased, such license can be used worldwide, except where prohibited by applicable law, notwithstanding any restriction to the contrary in the Applicable Agreement.

Licensee shall provide to Licensor on a quarterly basis, or at such other times as Licensor may reasonably request, with a written report detailing the amount of usage of the Licensed Software in a format agreed in advance by the parties. At a minimum this report shall include, as applicable, the number of (i) instances of the Licensed Software, (ii) users of products licensed by named user, (iii) cores or other processing devices accessed by instances of products licensed by server or processing device, and (iv) hours of usage supported by hardware/infrastructure consumption reporting. Such report shall be signed by a director or officer of Licensee and shall be accompanied by all information as Licensor reasonably requires to verify that Licensee is utilizing the Licensed Software in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Applicable Agreement, including without limitation any relevant hypervisor logs. The foregoing is in addition to Micro Focus’ audit rights under the Applicable Agreement. If the above report indicates that Licensee has exceeded the amount of instances, users, cores, or IFLs, then Licensee agrees to immediately pay Licensor for such additional usage at Licensor’s Pay As You Go per-diem price specified in the applicable Product Order, or if no such pricing is specified, then Licensor’s then-current Pay As You Go per-diem list pricing.
