For this End User License Agreement (“License Agreement”) the following terms shall have the meanings given below:
“Documentation” means the Licensor user documentation that is included with the Licensed Software.
“Licensee” means the single legal entity or person that rightfully acquires the Licensed Software from Licensor or from a distributor or reseller of Licensor.

“Licensed Software” means the object code version of the Licensor computer program(s) listed above, their Documentation, and other supplemental materials, as provided to Licensee by Licensor, including but not limited to any software security keys relating thereto. The Documentation may be delivered electronically and may only be available in the English language. The Licensed Software will be accompanied by a license key where required for activation and use of the Licensed Software. The Licensed Software shall also include, and this License Agreement shall govern the use of any update to the Licensed Software that Licensee receives pursuant to a separate support and/or maintenance purchase as described in Section 6 below, unless such update contains or comes with a different end user license agreement, in which case such end user license agreement shall supersede this License Agreement and govern the use of such software license without need for a mutually executed amendment to this License Agreement as set forth in Section 17 of this License Agreement. This License Agreement does not grant Licensee the right to any updates to the Licensed Software unless provided by Licensor under Section 6 and/or Section 7 below.
“Product Order” means a document that has been (i) executed by Licensee describing each Licensed Software license to be purchased, and (ii) accepted by Licensor. Licensor will accept the Product Order by either confirming Licensor’s acceptance in writing or by delivering the Licensed Software to Licensee, whichever occurs first. A Product Order may also mean a written quote, or if referred to as such, a solution order, issued by Licensor describing each Licensed Software license purchased that is accepted by Licensee within the validity period of the quote either by Licensee executing and returning the quote or a solution order, to Licensor, by Licensee issuing a purchase order or other written confirmation of acceptance to Licensor in conformance with the quote, and/or by Licensee paying to Licensor all fees set forth in the quote. Each Product Order shall constitute a separate agreement and shall incorporate therein this License Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this License Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Product Order, the conflicting terms and conditions of the Product Order shall govern. In no event shall any terms and conditions contained in a purchase order or similar document issued by Licensee in connection with this License Agreement or with a Product Order apply and any such document issued shall be only for the administrative purposes of identifying the Licensed Software ordered, the number of licenses, and the price to be paid and shall have no other legal effect. Licensor for purposes of this paragraph shall mean Licensor or, if applicable, one of Licensor’s authorized resellers from whom Licensee purchases the Licensed Software, provided however that any conflicting or additional terms in a Product Order accepted by an authorized reseller of Licensor shall have no effect unless such terms have been agreed by Licensor in writing.
“Warranty Period” means a period of ninety (90) days from delivery of the Licensed Software to Licensee.
1 GRANT OF LICENSE; LICENSE CONDITIONS. For payment of the applicable non-refundable license fees identified on the Product Order and subject to Licensee’s compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this License Agreement, Licensor grants solely to Licensee, as an end user, a personal, perpetual (unless a subscription/term license has been purchased by Licensee), non-transferable, non-sublicensable and non-exclusive license to use the Licensed Software solely for its own internal use and benefit. Licensee’s use and operation of the Licensed Software and the license grant provided to the Licensed Software is subject to Licensee being in possession of a valid license key where required for the Licensed Software to run. Licensee agrees that Licensor is not liable or responsible for lost or broken license keys or media or the provision of replacement license keys or media and/or new license keys or media unless Licensee is current on support and maintenance for the applicable license and then only to the extent set forth in the applicable annual support and/or maintenance agreement and only to the extent Licensor then has sufficient rights from any applicable third party suppliers, if necessary, to provide such replacement. If not current on support and maintenance for the applicable license, replacement or new license keys or media may be available for purchase at Licensor’s then current list fees for applicable new licenses.
Different License Options are available from Licensor as set forth or referred to in Annex 1. The applicable License Option and license count to be purchased by Licensee for the Licensed Software shall be identified in the Product Order or otherwise identified in writing by Licensor.

D. Upon Licensor’s request, Licensee shall furnish Licensor or an independent auditor chosen at Licensor’s sole discretion (“Auditor”), within seven (7) days of the request, with a completed questionnaire provided by Licensor or the Auditor, and with a written statement, in a format required by Licensor, signed by a director of Licensee, certifying the accuracy of any information provided;
E. Allow a Licensor representative or an Auditor to inspect and audit Licensee’s computers and records, during Licensee’s normal business hours, for compliance with the licensing terms for Licensor’s software products and associated maintenance.

F. In the event that Licensee has or at any time has had unlicensed installation, use of, or access to the Licensed Software or has otherwise breached the license granted (a “Non-Compliance”), without prejudice to any other rights or remedies Licensor may have, including without limitation injunctive relief, Licensee shall, within thirty (30) days, purchase sufficient licenses and or subscriptions and associated support and maintenance to cure the Non-Compliance, without benefit of any otherwise applicable discount, by paying Licensor’s current (as of the date of such additional purchase) list license fees and 12-month support and maintenance fees to Licensor for such additional licenses, plus Licensor’s current (as of the date of such additional purchase) list term license and support and maintenance fees and interest (compounded at 1.5% monthly or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law if lower) for such additional licenses for the time period from the commencement of the Non-Compliance until payment of the aforementioned fees. The aforementioned interest shall be payable even if an invoice was not issued at the time the Non-Compliance commenced. If a material license shortfall of 5% or more is found, Licensee shall also reimburse Licensor for the reasonable cost of such audit in addition to other amounts due. The obligations in this Section 3 shall apply to both Licensee’s Non-Compliance and any third party’s Non-Compliance.
4 DOCUMENTATION. One (1) electronic copy of Licensor’s standard Documentation, describing Licensor’s recommended use and application of the Licensed Software, will be furnished or made available on Licensor’s website free of additional charge to Licensee by Licensor with the Licensed Software. Printed copies of any Documentation may be available for purchase from Licensor or its authorized distributors. Additional copies of standard Documentation may be available on Licensor’s website.
5 TERM OF LICENSE. This License Agreement and Licensee’s license for the Licensed Software is perpetual, unless a subscription/term license has been purchased by Licensee (in which case the term of the license shall be as set forth in the Product Order, specified in Annex 1 or Annex 2, or as otherwise agreed in writing between the Licensee and Licensor), and is subject to earlier termination as provided in this Section 5. If Licensee has purchased a subscription/term license, Licensee’s license to the Licensed Software shall automatically terminate upon expiry of such subscription/term. Licensor may terminate this License Agreement and Licensee’s license to the Licensed Software immediately by giving Licensee written notice of termination in the event that either (i) Licensee breaches any term or condition of this License Agreement and Licensee has failed to remedy such breach within ten (10) days of the date of notice from Licensor to Licensee or (ii) Licensee is wound up, has a receiver appointed or has applied for or enters into liquidation or bankruptcy or analogous process or processes. Termination shall be without prejudice to any other rights or remedies Licensor may have. In the event of any termination Licensee will have no right to keep, access, or use the Licensed Software or any copy of the Licensed Software for any purpose and Licensee shall destroy and erase all copies of such Licensed Software in its possession or control, and forward written certification to Licensor that all such copies of Licensed Software have been destroyed or erased. Termination shall not entitle the Licensee to any refund or reimbursement of any kind of previously paid fees. The rights and obligations of the parties contained in Sections 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13, and other sections that by their nature are intended to survive, will survive the termination or expiration of this License Agreement.
6 SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE. Where Licensee purchases support and/or maintenance services, Licensee’s initial support and/or maintenance term will begin upon delivery to Licensee of the Licensed Software and continue for one (1) year thereafter (or the length of the term if less than a year for any subscription/term license) unless otherwise specified in the applicable annual support and/or maintenance agreement, Product Order, or other written agreement executed between Licensor and Licensee. Where Licensee purchases support and/or maintenance for any Licensed Software, Licensee hereby agrees that it shall purchase such support and/or maintenance services for all of Licensee’s licensed units of such Licensed Software product. Support and/or maintenance services provided by Licensor will be subject to Licensor’s then current applicable standard annual support and/or maintenance agreement unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing.
7 LIMITED WARRANTY. Licensor warrants for the Warranty Period (i) that if the Licensed Software is supplied via media, then the media will be free from defects in materials or workmanship under normal use and (ii) that the copy of the Licensed Software delivered to Licensee conforms in all material respects to the Documentation. As the sole and exclusive remedy for not meeting part (i) of the above warranty, Licensor’s sole obligation shall be to repair or replace free of charge any defective media on which the Licensed Software is delivered if the media is returned to Licensor by Licensee during the Warranty Period. As the sole and exclusive remedy for not meeting part (ii) of the above warranty, Licensor shall repair or replace the Licensed Software free of charge so that it conforms with the warranty or, if Licensor reasonably determines that such remedy is not economically or technically feasible, Licensee shall be entitled to a full refund of the license fee and any maintenance fee paid by Licensee with respect to that particular Licensed Software. Upon such refund Licensee’s license to use such Licensed Software will terminate. The warranty set forth in this Section 7 shall not apply if the defect in the Licensed Software is the result of: (a) the Licensed Software not being used in accordance with the Documentation, this License Agreement or with the platform(s) for which the Licensed Software has been designed and licensed by Licensor; or (b) the Licensed Software having been altered, modified or converted by Licensee or any third party except as may be specified in the Documentation; or (c) the malfunctioning of Licensee’s equipment; or (d) accident or abuse; or (e) service by any unauthorized person; or (f) other software used by Licensee which has not been provided by Licensor or for which the Licensed Software is not designed and licensed for operation; or (g) Third Party Software (as defined herein); or (h) any other cause occurring after initial delivery of the media to Licensee unless caused directly by Licensor. The foregoing states the complete and entire remedies that Licensee has under this warranty. Licensor shall have no responsibility for any warranty claims made outside of the Warranty Period. The foregoing warranty shall not apply to any free-of-charge Licensed Software including updates, though issues with such software may be eligible for support under applicable support terms and conditions.
8 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. The Licensed Software cannot be tested in every possible operating environment, therefore Licensor does not warrant that the functions contained in the Licensed Software will meet Licensee’s requirements, that operation of the Licensed Software will be uninterrupted, or that the Licensed Software is error free. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HEREIN AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE EXCLUDED on the part of Licensor and its third-party suppliers. Licensee acknowledges that Licensee is responsible for the selection of the Licensed Software to achieve Licensee’s intended results and for the installation and/or use of, and results obtained from, the Licensed Software.
9 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. ANY LIABILITY OF LICENSOR SHALL BE LIMITED IN THE AGGREGATE TO THE AMOUNTS PAID BY LICENSEE FOR THE LICENSED SOFTWARE GIVING RISE TO THE APPLICABLE CLAIM. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES TO ALL CAUSES OF ACTION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, MISREPRESENTATION AND OTHER TORTS. IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SIMILAR DAMAGES NOR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, CONTRACTS, DATA, OR PROGRAMS, OR THE COST OF RECOVERING SUCH DATA OR PROGRAMS, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE. Licensor’S LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ARE NOT CUMULATIVE. Licensee’s remedies in this License Agreement are Licensee’s exclusive remedies.
NONE OF LICENSOR’S THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, LOSS OR DAMAGE, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL NOR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, CONTRACTS, DATA, OR PROGRAMS, OR THE COST OF RECOVERING SUCH DATA OR PROGRAMS, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE.
LICENSEE AGREES THAT, IN ENTERING INTO THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT, EITHER IT DID NOT RELY ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS (WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL) OF ANY KIND OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT, OR IF IT DID RELY ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS, THAT IT SHALL HAVE NO REMEDY AGAINST LICENSOR IN RESPECT OF SUCH REPRESENTATIONS.
LICENSEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN THIS SECTION ARE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT AND THAT, IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH LIMITATIONS, THE PRICING AND OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT.
NEITHER THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT NOR ANYTHING IN THIS SECTION 9 SHALL EXCLUDE OR RESTRICT THE LIABILITY OF Licensor OR ITS THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS TO ANY EXTENT NOT PERMITTED BY LAW.
10 HIGH-RISK USES. The Licensed Software is not fault tolerant, nor designed, manufactured or intended for use in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance (including, without limitation, the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, direct life support machines, or weapons systems) in which failure of the Licensed Software could lead directly or indirectly to death, personal injury or severe physical or environmental damage. Licensor and its suppliers shall have no liability for any use of the Licensed Software in any high-risk situations.
11 OWNERSHIP. Licensor (or its affiliates) and where applicable Licensor’s third party suppliers have and will retain all ownership rights to the Licensed Software, together with any complete or partial copies thereof. Such ownership rights include without limitation all patent rights, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, service marks, related goodwill, and confidential and proprietary information relating thereto. This License Agreement does not convey any proprietary interest to Licensee with respect to the Licensed Software other than the license specified herein.
12 THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE AND COMPONENTS. The Licensed Software may come with and/or require certain named third party software programs that Licensee shall license directly from the third party subject to such third party’s terms and conditions (for example Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Internet Explorer) (“Third Party Software”). Any Third Party Software is provided by the licensor of the Third Party Software solely under a direct license between such third party and Licensee under such third party’s terms and conditions. Therefore the obligations, duties and rights of Licensor and Licensee under this License Agreement do not apply to such Third Party Software. Additionally, Licensor has embedded in some Licensed Software certain run time or other elements provided by third party suppliers to Licensor (“Third Party Components”). Such Third Party Components may also be loaded on the Licensed Software media. Third Party Components are licensed to Licensee pursuant to this License Agreement. Third Party Components may also include open source software, details of which (where applicable) may be found (i) in a file accompanying the applicable Licensed Software or (ii) in the applicable Documentation. Licensee may only access Third Party Components of the Licensed Software in the course of using the Licensed Software. Licensee may not make or attempt any direct access to any such Third Party Components other than with the Licensed Software. All limitations, restrictions and obligations applicable to the Licensed Software set forth in this License Agreement shall apply to Licensee’s use of the Third Party Components. The Third Party Software and Third Party Components are the property of its respective third party supplier to Licensor. Such third party suppliers own all copies of the Third Party Software and Third Party Components, however made. Licensee agrees not to contest the ownership of the Third Party Software and Third Party Components nor use any trademark or service mark belonging to such third party suppliers. Licensee agrees that such third party suppliers are intended third party beneficiaries of all terms and conditions of this License Agreement intended to protect intellectual property rights in the Licensed Software (including the Third Party Components) and limit certain uses thereof. Nothing in this License Agreement shall restrict, limit or otherwise affect any rights or obligations Licensee may have, or conditions to which Licensee may be subject, under any applicable open source licenses to any open source code contained in the Licensed Software.

15 RELATED SERVICES. Licensee shall be responsible for obtaining and installing all proper hardware and support software (including operating systems) and for proper installation and implementation of and training concerning the Licensed Software. In the event that Licensee retains Licensor to perform any services with respect to the Licensed Software (for example: installation, implementation, maintenance, consulting and/or training services), Licensee and Licensor agree that such services shall be subject to Licensor’s then current standard terms, conditions and rates for such services unless otherwise agreed in writing by Licensor.
16 PRIVACY. If the Licensed Software contains features that may allow Licensee to collect data from, control and/or monitor computers running the Licensed Software deployed by Licensee without notice to or knowledge by users of the Licensed Software, then: (i) Licensee is solely responsible for, and assumes all liability with respect to, the collection of data with respect to its users of the Licensed Software including, without limitation, notifying such users and complying with all data collection, privacy and other regulations, laws, industry standards and rights of others applicable to any such activity; and (ii) Licensee shall indemnify and hold Licensor harmless from and against any damages, claims, losses, settlements, attorneys' fees, legal fees and court costs and other expenses related to any such activities or any claims in connection therewith.

If Licensee acquires the Licensed Software in North America, the laws of the state of Maryland govern this License Agreement and the licenses granted hereunder and the parties hereto consent and agree that they shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and/or Federal courts sitting in the State of Maryland in any action based on this License Agreement or concerning the licenses granted, or the products licensed, hereunder. Each party waives any right it may have to object to such venue, including objections based on personal jurisdiction or forum non conveniens (inconvenient forum). The parties agree that the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act or any version thereof, adopted by any state, in any form ("UCITA"), shall not apply to this License Agreement. To the extent that UCITA is applicable, the parties hereby opt out of the applicability of UCITA pursuant to the opt-out provision(s) contained therein. If Licensee acquires the Licensed Software in France, Germany or Japan, this License Agreement is governed by the laws of the country in which Licensee acquired the Licensed Software. In the rest of the world the laws of England govern this License Agreement. The aforesaid applicable law shall apply without regard to conflicts of laws provisions thereof, and without regard to the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. Other than for North American transactions, this License Agreement, the licenses granted hereunder, and the parties hereto, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the country determining the applicable law as aforesaid. In the event of a dispute, the prevailing party shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs and necessary disbursements and attorneys' fees incurred in enforcing this License Agreement.

By downloading or using the Licensed Software, Licensee is agreeing to the foregoing and Licensee is representing and warranting that Licensee is not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such country or on any such list.
Licensor may identify Licensee by name and/or logo as a licensee of Licensor for investor relations, analyst relations, and public relations purposes, and in online and printed sales and marketing materials. Any other use of Licensee’s name or logo, or a description of Licensee’s use of the Licensed Software, shall be subject to Licensee’s prior consent. Within eight (8) weeks after installation of the Licensed Software, upon Licensor’s written request Licensee will provide Licensor with input to a written description of Licensee’s use of the Licensed Software including details of the business challenge, software solution, and results realised from the installation of the Licensed Software.

No employee, agent, or representative of Licensor has the authority to bind Licensor to any oral representation or warranty concerning the Licensed Software. No representation or statement not expressly contained in this License Agreement nor any supplement, modification, or amendment of this License Agreement will be binding on either party unless executed in writing by a duly authorized representative of Licensor and Licensee (excluding any distributor or reseller of Licensor) to this License Agreement. No waiver of any right under this License Agreement will be effective unless in writing, signed by a duly authorized representative of the party to be bound (excluding any distributor or reseller of Licensor). No waiver of any past or present right arising from any breach or failure to perform will be deemed to be a waiver of any future right arising under this License Agreement. If any provision in this License Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be construed, limited, modified or, if necessary, severed, to the extent necessary, to eliminate its invalidity or unenforceability, and the other provisions of this License Agreement will remain unaffected.

ANNEX 1, LICENSE OPTIONS
DEFINITIONS
For this License Agreement, the following additional definitions shall apply:
“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.
“Blades” means multiple server modules housed in a single chassis each with its own CPU, hard disk and memory.
“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” (Central Processor Unit) means a data processing unit, normally identified with a single microchip mounted on a single circuit board and can comprise several Cores.
“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), LPAR (adds DLPAR with AIX 5.2), Micro-Partitions (capped partitions only), vPar, nPar, Integrity Virtual Machine (capped partitions only), Secure Resource Partitions (capped partitions only), and Fujitsu’s PPAR.
“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.
“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.
“Update” means the definition for such term set forth in Licensor’s then current applicable standard annual support and/or maintenance agreement.
“Upgrade” means any change in the licensed Platform for the Licensed Software or a successor product to the Licensed Software.
“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.

a. Named User or Authorized User License. Licensed Software provided under this License Option gives Licensee the right to install the Licensed Software on a single machine or server for use solely by the number of named users expressly authorized by Licensor in the Product Order for whom Licensee has paid the applicable license fee. A named user must only be one named person and such named person has the right to unlimited access to the Licensed Software on such single machine or server. A Named User License is not based on concurrent users, but instead on an actual named user basis. Licensor reserves the right at any time to require Licensee to provide a list of the named users. Licensee may change a named end 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.
b. Concurrent User License. Licensed Software provided under this License Option gives Licensee the right to install the Licensed Software on a single machine or server for use solely by the maximum number of concurrent users expressly authorized by Licensor in the Product Order for whom Licensee has paid the applicable license fee. Concurrent users are individuals who are actively using 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 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.
2. Deployment License Options.
a. Server License Options. There are two options for server-based licenses. Please note that server-based licenses may only be installed on one machine or server. Additional licenses are therefore required to be purchased by Licensee for use of the Licensed Software on more than one machine for any purpose, including disaster recovery, load-balancing, clustering, fail-over, training, or testing. Licensed Software may be licensed solely for evaluation, disaster recovery, fail-over, training, or testing purposes and in such case will be subject to the applicable License Option terms and conditions set forth in this Annex 1.
(i) Concurrent User License. Licensed Software provided under this License Option gives Licensee the right to install the Licensed Software on a single machine or server for use by the maximum number of Concurrent Users for whom Licensee has paid the applicable license fee. Concurrent Users are individuals who are actively using 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 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. 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. Licensee may only use the Licensed Software on or access the Licensed Software from one server at any one time. Subject to the prior written consent of Licensor and to payment of additional license fees, Licensee may permit the public and/or Licensee’ customers to access and use the Licensed Software via the internet and/or Licensee’ terminals in connection with Licensee’ internal business purposes (for example to access internet banking from Licensee) but not for the public’ and/or Licensee’ customers’ own internal use.
(ii) Server License for CPUs (or Core License). Licensed Software provided under this License Option gives Licensee the right to install the Licensed Software on a single machine or server (“Host Server”) and have the Licensed Software executed by up to the total number of CPUs, Cores, Integrated Facility for Linux processors (“IFLs”), Blades or other processing devices 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 Server License for CPUs license covering all CPUs, Cores, IFLs, Blades and other processing devices 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 CPUs, Cores, IFLs, Blades or other processing devices are not accessing or running the Licensed Software. 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 Server License for CPUs 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 Server License for CPUs 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 Server License for CPUs license and payment of the license fees applicable to all 4 Cores.
The Licensed Software is for use by an unlimited number of Licensee’s internal users, other software devices and hardware devices. A Server License for CPUs is the only license authorized for use or access by Licensee for any Batch Processing. Licensor reserves the right at any time to require Licensee to provide a specification of the Host Server. Licensee may change the designated Host Server provided that the new Host Server’s specifications are authorized under the applicable Server License for CPUs license, including, but not limited to, the Total Processors in, and thus the Server License for CPUs licenses required for, the new Host Server do not exceed the License Specification(s) for the Server License for CPUs license(s) used for the old Host Server plus any new Server License for CPUs license(s) purchased by Licensee for use on the new 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 CPU, Cores, IFLs, Blades or other processing devices that are using the Licensed Software, such as by using a terminal service. Subject to the prior written consent of Licensor and to payment of additional license fees, Licensee may permit the public and/or Licensee’s customers to access and use the Licensed Software via the internet and/or Licensee’s terminals in connection with Licensee’s internal business purposes (for example to access internet banking from Licensee) but not for the public’s and/or Licensee’s customers’ own internal use.
b. Test License Option 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 system subject to this section and the restrictions applicable to the type of license purchased as specified in the applicable Product Order (e.g., Server License for CPUs, etc.). 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. If Licensee uses the Test Licenses for any purpose other than for Licensee’s internal testing purposes, the Test License shall terminate automatically and without notice. Upon such termination, Licensee may convert the terminated Test License to a standard license type listed above by paying the applicable conversion fee. In relation to Licensed Software provided pursuant to this Test License Option, this Section shall prevail over any contrary provisions set forth in this License Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, a “test” license as described above is not a license to use Licensor’s software quality or “testing” products, however such products may be available under this Test License Option.
c. Disaster Recovery License Option Licensed Software provided under this License Option gives Licensee a limited license to use the Licensed Software solely on a Cold Disaster Recovery System subject to this section and the restrictions applicable to the type of license purchased as specified in the applicable Product Order (e.g., Server License for CPUs, etc.). In the event of a conflict, the terms and conditions in this section shall prevail. A Cold Disaster Recovery System is a computer system that is used only (i) if a disaster arises and the original production, test, or development system is unavailable, (ii) for the purposes of disaster recovery testing and/or (iii) for system diagnostics or maintenance of the Cold Disaster Recovery System itself. Licensed Software provided under this option cannot be used (a) concurrently with any Deployment License for the Licensed Software except while the original production, test, or development system is being recovered; (b) in production, test, or development environments except in a disaster recovery situation: or (c) 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, or for installation in any computer system that is in use must be purchased separately. Cold Disaster Recovery Licenses shall terminate automatically without notice if the Licensed Software provided under this License Option is installed on anything other than a Cold Disaster Recovery System, if Licensee ceases to use the Licensed Software for disaster recovery purposes, or if Licensee is otherwise in violation of the restrictions set forth in this section.
d. Failover License Option Licensed Software provided under this License Option gives Licensee a limited license to use the Licensed Software solely on a single standby failover server in standby, non-production mode subject to this section and the restrictions applicable to the type of license purchased as specified in the applicable Product Order (e.g., Server License for CPUs, etc.). In the event of a conflict, the terms and conditions in this section shall prevail. Licensee may not use the Licensed Software for production, testing (other than failover testing), development, or training except during periods when one or more copies of the Licensed Software for which Licensee has purchased a Deployment License are nonfunctional. Licensee may not use the Licensed Software for load-balancing or clustering, for which a separate license is required to be purchased by Licensee.
e. Training License Option Licensed Software provided under this License Option gives Licensee a limited license to use the Licensed Software solely for Licensee’s internal training purposes on a single computer system subject to this section and the restrictions applicable to the type of license purchased as specified in the applicable Product Order (e.g., Server License for CPUs, etc.). 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, testing, or production purposes, nor may Licensee reproduce or distribute the Licensed Software or any software application programs created with it.
3. Evaluation License Option Licensed Software provided under this License Option gives Licensee a term license to use the Licensed Software within Licensee during the evaluation term specified in writing by Licensor, solely for evaluation and testing purposes on a single computer system and not for development, commercial, or production purposes. Licensee may not reproduce or distribute the Licensed Software. 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. At any time during the evaluation term or upon completion thereof, Licensee may, upon written notification to Licensor and payment of the applicable license fee, replace the evaluation license with a license to use the Licensed Software pursuant to one of the other applicable options listed in Annex 1. In the absence of such notification by Licensee, the evaluation license shall automatically terminate at the end of the evaluation term and Licensee shall return, or, if Licensor so directs, delete and destroy all such Licensed Software and provide Licensor with written confirmation of such deletion and destruction being completed. Licensor may, in its sole discretion, grant Licensee an extension to the evaluation term subject to receiving a written request and reasons for such request from Licensee prior to expiration of the evaluation term. Licensor will specify any such agreed extension in writing to Licensee. Licensed Software provided by Licensor free of license fee charge shall be deemed to be provided pursuant to this Evaluation License Option unless otherwise agreed in writing. In the absence of any contrary period specified in writing by Licensor, the evaluation term shall be deemed to be thirty (30) days. In relation to Licensed Software provided pursuant to this Evaluation License Option, this Section shall prevail over any contrary provisions set forth in this License Agreement.
ANNEX 2, SPECIFIC SOFTWARE TERMS
Additional Restrictions. Licensee agrees not to:
