The Software provided under this license is proprietary to Bay Networks and to third parties from whom Bay Networks has acquired license rights. Bay Networks will not grant any Software license whatsoev er , either explicitly or implicitly, except by acceptance of an order for either Software or for a Bay Networks product (“Equipment”) that is packaged with Software. Each such license is subject to the following restrictions:

1. Upon delivery of the Software, Bay Networks grants to licensee a personal, nontransferable, none xclusiv e license to use the Software with the Equipment with which or for which it was originally acquired, including use at any of licensee’s facilities to which the Equipment may be transferred, for the useful life of the Equipment unless earlier terminated by default or cancellation. Use of the Software shall be limited to such Equipment and to such facility. Software which is licensed for use on hardware not offered by Bay Networks is not subject to restricted use on any Equipment, however, unless otherwise speciﬁed on the Documentation, each licensed copy of such Software may only be installed on one hardware item at any time.

2. Licensee may use the Software with backup Equipment only if the Equipment with which or for which it was acquired is inoperative.

3. Licensee may make a single copy of the Software (but not ﬁrmware) for safekeeping (archives) or backup purposes.

4. Licensee may modify Software (but not ﬁrmware), or combine it with other software, subject to the provision that those portions of the resulting software which incorporate Software are subject to the restrictions of this license. Licensee shall not make the resulting software available for use by any third party.

5. Neither title nor ownership to Software passes to licensee.

6. Licensee shall not provide, or otherwise make available, any Software, in whole or in part, in any form, to any third party. Third parties do not include consultants, subcontractors, or agents of licensee who have licensee’s permission to use the Software at licensee’s facility, and who have agreed in writing to use the Software only in accordance with the restrictions of this license.

7. Third-party owners from whom Bay Networks has acquired license rights to software that is incorporated into Bay Networks products shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this license against licensee.

8. Licensee shall not remove or obscure any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or similar intellectual property or restricted rights notice within or afﬁxed to any Software and shall reproduce and afﬁx such notice on any backup copy of Software or copies of software resulting from modiﬁcation or combination performed by licensee as permitted by this license.

9. Licensee shall not reverse assemble, reverse compile, or in any way reverse engineer the Software. [Note: For licensees in the European Community, the Softw are Directiv e dated 14 May 1991 (as may be amended from time to time) shall apply for interoperability purposes. Licensee must notify Bay Networks in writing of any such intended examination of the Software and Bay Networks may provide review and assistance.]

10. Notwithstanding any foregoing terms to the contrary, if licensee licenses the Bay Networks product “Site Manager,” licensee may duplicate and install the Site Manager product as speciﬁed in the Documentation. This right is granted solely as necessary for use of Site Manager on hardware installed with licensee’s network.

11. This license will automatically terminate upon improper handling of Software, such as by disclosure, or Bay Networks may terminate this license by written notice to licensee if licensee fails to comply with any of the material provisions of this license and fails to cure such failure within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice from Bay Networks.

Bay Networks Information Services

Bay Networks Information Services provide up-to-date support information as a ﬁrst-line resource for network administration, expansion, and maintenance. This information is available from a variety of sources.

W orld Wide Web

The Bay Networks Customer Support Web Server offers a diverse library of technical documents, software agents, and other important technical information to Bay Networks customers and partners.

A special beneﬁt for contracted customers and resellers is the ability to access the Web Server to perform Case Management. This feature enables your support staff to interact directly with the network experts in our worldwide Technical Response Centers. A registered contact with a valid Site ID can

• View a listing of support cases and determine the current status of any open case. Case history data includes severity designation, and telephone, e-mail, or other logs associated with the case.

Technical Support and Online Services

• Customize the listing of cases according to a variety of criteria, including date, severity, status, and case ID.

• Log notes to existing open cases.

• Create new cases for rapid, efﬁcient handling of noncritical network situations.

• Communicate directly via e-mail with the speciﬁc technical resources assigned to your case.

Support Source CD

This CD-ROM -- sent quarterly to all contracted customers -- is a complete Bay Networks Service troubleshooting knowledge database with an intelligent text search engine.

The Support Source CD contains extracts from our problem-tracking database; information from the Bay Networks Forum on CompuServe; comprehensive technical documentation, such as Customer Support Bulletins, Release Notes, software patches and ﬁxes; and complete information on all Bay Networks Service programs.

You can run a single version on Macintosh Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT, DOS, or UNIX computing platforms. A Web links feature enables you to go directly from the CD to various Bay Networks Web pages.

CompuServe

For assistance with noncritical network support issues, Bay Networks Information Services maintain an active forum on CompuServe, a global bulletin-board system. This forum provides ﬁle services, technology conferences, and a message section to get assistance from other users.

The message section is monitored by Bay Networks engineers, who provide assistance wherever possible. Customers and resellers holding Bay Networks service contracts also have access to special libraries for advanced levels of support documentation and software. To take advantage of CompuServe’s recently enhanced menu options, the Bay Networks Forum has been re-engineered to allow links to our Web sites and FTP sites.

We recommend the use of CompuServe Information Manager software to access these Bay Networks Information Services resources. To open an account and receive a local dial-up number in the United States, call CompuServe at 1-800-524-3388. Outside the United States, call 1-614-529-1349, or your nearest CompuServe ofﬁce.
