2. TERM AND LICENSE TYPES

Under specific term MG-SOFT may tolerate use of LICENSED SOFTWARE after termination of LICENSE. BEWARE: MG-SOFT MAY REVOKE PERMISSION TO USE OF LICENSED SOFTWARE AFTER TERMINATION OF LICENSE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.

Each installed copy of MG-SOFT software product must be covered by an appropriate LICENSE.

MG-SOFT issues a unique license.key file for each granted LICENSE. Once the license.key is applied to the applicable software, the software product in the About window displays its unique serial number, LICENSE type (usually 'Single user license') and LICENSE status ('Active' or 'Renewable' or 'Not Renewable'). Each license.key entitles the user to install and use the LICENSED SOFTWARE per this AGREEMENT.

As a rule, MG-SOFT issues and distributes license.key in form of a file. However, MG-SOFT may at their own discretion decide to issue hard wired license.key instead of or in addition to license.key in form of a file. In such a case MG-SOFT will supply you with such hard wired license.key in form of flash drive or any other form MG-SOFT chooses at their own discretion.

BEWARE: LICENSE.KEY FILE CONTAINS INFORMATION ABOUT THE USER, PRODUCT FOR WHICH THE LICENSE IS ISSUED (INCLUDING THE EDITION OF THE SOFTWARE AND OS PLATFORM) AND THE TIME-FRAME WHEN THE LICENSE IS "ACTIVE". If you disagree with the content of LICENSE.KEY contact MG-SOFT immediately. MG-SOFT reserves the right to revoke LICENSE at any time if you fail to provide form of control of LICENSE instead of license.key containing said information.

LICENSE are issued for the selected time period (either for one year or two years or three years TIME-FRAME) and can be renewed.

FOR INFORMATION ONLY: MG-SOFT does not offer so called "floating licenses" (wherein floating licensing also known as concurrent licensing or network licensing, is a software licensing approach in which a limited number of licenses for a software application are shared among a larger number of users over time), the reason being that many users install the software on their laptops and then use it somewhere in the field where it might be quite inconvenient for them if the software was trying to connect to some kind of licensing server in the home office in order to determine if it is eligible to start-up or not, depending on the current number of other users.

(b) TERMINATION OF LICENSE

LICENSE is terminated upon expiration of TIME-FRAME. You are authorized to continue to use LICENSED SOFTWARE after LICENSE termination until such time that MG-SOFT revokes such use at MG-SOFT discretion but you are not authorized to download and/or install any and all software updates and/or new releases of the software that MG-SOFT provides.

You are only eligible to RENEW ELIGIBLE LICENSE within not more than ONE YEAR after termination of ELIGIBLE LICENSE. New TIME-FRAME is computed from time of license RENEWAL.

(d) TYPE OF LICENSE

Each LICENSE entitles the user to install and use the LICENSED SOFTWARE on only one computer, i.e., each license.key file can be applied to at most one copy of the installed software. Use of license.key on more than one copy constitutes UNAUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTION.

Specifically, you are prohibited from bundling of any MG-SOFT's products and license.key under SINGLE USER LICENSE. Bundling of any MG-SOFT's products and license.key without prior specific written permission by MG-SOFT constitutes UNAUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTION.

(d)(ii) DEVELOPER LICENSE and REDISTRIBUTABLE RUN-TIME LICENSE

For purposes of this AGREEMENT, developer is either an individual or a legal entity developing products with help of LICENSED SOFTWARE on a single computer with an understanding that results of such development may be run on other computers, each of these computers in need of separate license (herein DEVELOPER).

If, at the time of purchase, you selected DEVELOPER LICENSE, you have agreed to acquire DEVELOPER LICENSE (herein "DEVELOPER LICENSE") as LICENSE type. With the DEVELOPER, the LICENSEE can install at most one copy of the LICENSED SOFTWARE to at most one computer, and may use, during TIME-FRAME, use of MG-SOFT software development kit.

For purposes of this AGREEMENT, each of computers running results of development by DEVELOPER may only run results of development by DEVELOPER if separate redistributable run-time LICENSE is provided by DEVELOPER, this redistributable run-time LICENSE terminating upon termination of DEVELOPER LICENSE, this redistributable run-time LICENSE not permitting download and installation of all new versions and software updates upon MG-SOFT release (herein REDISTRIBUTABLE RUN-TIME LICENSE).

In addition to one copy of LICENSED SOFTWARE to run as DEVELOPER you are also permitted to provide as many REDISTRIBUTABLE RUN-TIME LICENSE with results of development as you selected at the time of purchase. DEVELOPER LICENSE comprises a license for one DEVELOPER and a certain number of redistributable run-time licenses (exact number of run-time licenses depends on the licensed software development kit). This means that one DEVELOPER can install the licensed version of the development kit to his or her computer. The redistributable run-time licenses can be deployed in the development environment in order to test and debug the product through its development stages. After the product is developed, the redistributable run-time licenses can be deployed (bundled with your application) either within your company (i.e., if you were developing an in-house tool) and/or sold to your end-users (again, bundled with your application). You are eligible to redistribute in such manner only such number of MG-SOFT's run-time modules as you have received redistributable run-time licenses with the purchased software development kit. To deploy or redistribute additional copies of MG- SOFT's run-time modules please contact MG-SOFT Sales Team and order an adequate number of additional redistributable run-time licenses. YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO REDISTRIBUTE THE EVALUATION VERSION OF MG-SOFT'S RUN- TIME MODULES.

FOR INFORMATION ONLY: If you plan to deploy or resell large quantities of MG-SOFT's run-time modules bundled with your value-added application, you may wish to consider signing the OEM License Agreement, under which there are no restrictions on the number of the redistributed MG-SOFT's run-time modules bundled with your value-added application.

DEVELOPER LICENSE comprises privileges as set forth under SINGLE USER LICENSE. In addition to that, with each DEVELOPER LICENSE the LICENSEE receives a right to redistribute a certain number of MG-SOFT's redistributable binaries along with the developed application that relies to such MG-SOFT's binaries. Precise list of redistributable binaries covered by such license is supplied to LICENSEE at the time of purchase of such license.
