NOTICE TO ALL USERS: CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING LEGAL AGREEMENT
("AGREEMENT"), FOR THE LICENSE OF SPECIFIED SOFTWARE ("SOFTWARE") BY NETWORK

OF THIS AGREEMENT, CLICK THE BUTTON THAT INDICATES THAT YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THE
TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND DO NOT INSTALL THE SOFTWARE. (IF APPLICABLE, YOU

1. License Grant. Subject to the payment of the applicable license fees, and subject to t he terms and

personal digital assistant, pager, "smart phone" or other electronic device for which the Software
was designed (each, a "Client Device"). If the Software is licensed as a suite or bundle with more
than one specified Software product, this license applies to all such specified Software products,
subject to any restrictions or usage terms specified on the applicable price list or product

packaging

that apply to any of such Software products individually.

a. Use. The Software is licensed as a single product; it may not be used on more than one Client

Device or by more than one user at a time, except as set forth in this Section 1. The Software is "in

proprietary notices.(i.e., the required number of licenses would equal the number of distinct
inputs to the multiplexing or pooling software or hardware "front end"). If the number of Client
Devices or seats that can connect to the Software can exceed the number of licenses you have
obtained, then you must have a reasonable mechanism in place to ensure that your use of the
Software does not exceed the use limits specified for the licenses you have obtained. This license
authorizes you to make or download one copy of the Documentation for each Client Device or
seat that is li censed, provided th at each such co py contai ns all of the Docu mentatio n’ s propri etary

c. Volume Licenses. If the Software is licensed with volume license terms spec ified in the applicable

for each additional copy authorized by the volume license, provided that each such copy contains
all of the Documentat i on’s proprietary notice s.
