The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is licensed, not sold, on the following terms and conditions:
1. GRANT OF LICENSE.
a. General License Grant. Pursuant to a purchase order for the SOFTWARE("Purchase Order"), and subject to payment of all applicable license fees and other charges, SciTools grants you a limited, non-transferable(except as set forth herein), non-exclusive license to use the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for your own internal business functions in accordance with the terms, conditions, and restrictions of this AGREEMENT.
b. License Options. Your license to use the software shall be a Subscription License, a Lab License, a single developer license ("SDL"),a floating license, a node-lock license ("Node License") or an evaluation license (“Trial License”) each as described below, and subject to the provisions set forth below. The type of license you have shall be set forth on the Purchase Order for the SOFTWARE.
i. Subscription License. This Subscription License allows a single individual ("user") to install and use the SOFTWARE on a machine with an active internet connection that can connect to the SciTools' License Server("Helios"). At any time during the subscription, the license may be temporarily exchanged for an offline license which will allow it to be used by the user on one machine without access to Helios. The user will receive support and upgrades on the SOFTWARE during the subscription period at no additional cost. The user's rights under this agreement terminate automatically when the subscription expires or if the user fails to comply with any term(s) of this License. This subscription may be transferred, upon written notice to SciTools (but without having to obtain SciTools’ consent), to another individual (A) within the same company as the original licensee, and (B) who is providing services for the same project on which the original licensee was working on the date this license commenced. This subscription may not be transferred to any other individual or to any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or any other entity without SciTools’ prior written consent. This transferring grant shall not be used to simulate multiple-user subscription, or time-sharing arrangement of the subscription. The user shall not provide any Output or Report created using the SOFTWARE to parties who are not Authorized Users of the SOFTWARE.
ii. Lab License. This Subscription Lab License allows a defined number of individuals (“users”) to use the SOFTWARE in a single physical location ("Lab") that does not have access to Helios and requires the installation and control of the SciTools' Local License Manager("Icarus"). This License allows the users to use the SOFTWARE on one or more computers physically located in the Lab, but the users must not allow any unlicensed individual or entity to install or use the SOFTWARE using the license. The users’ rights under the Subscription Lab License are not transferable to any other individual unless license transfer rights are acquired. A limited number of license transfer rights may be included or purchased with the Lab License and these transfers allow the license rights to be assigned to another individual (A) within the same company as the original licensee, and (B) who is providing services for the same project on which the original licensee was working on the date this license commenced. Apart from those transfers, this license may not be transferred to any other individual or to any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or any other entity without SciTools' prior written consent. The users will receive support and upgrades on the SOFTWARE during the subscription period at no additional cost.
