- StepWare Inc. .
-
- In this agreement:
- - "Program" means the StepWare Inc. software products(s) you have
- purchased or obtained for evaluation, including both the
- software and the associated documentation and other materials;
- - "UNREGISTERED-DEMO Copy" means a copy of the Program distributed
- by us or by our authorized agents for evaluation purposes and
- which is described as an UNREGISTERED-DEMO copy in the Program's
- sign-on messages;
- - "REGISTERED Copy" means a copy of the Program purchased from us
- or from a dealer, and which is not described as an
- UNREGISTERED-DEMO copy in the Program's sign-on messages;

- end user, to use the Program under certain terms and conditions. If
- you cannot agree to abide by what this agreement says you should not
- use or evaluate the Program.
-
- (3) Copyright. The Program is fully protected by copyright under U.S.
- law and international treaty provisions.
-
- (4) Patents. This program contains elements that are patent pending.
-
- (5) Evaluation Period. You may use an UNREGISTERED-DEMO Copy of the
- Program for an evaluation period of up to 30 days, in order to
- determine whether the program meets your needs before purchasing it.
- Once the evaluation period ends, you agree to either purchase a
- REGISTERED Copy of the Program, or to stop using it. If you have
- ordered a REGISTERED Copy of the Program from us or from a dealer,
- you may continue to use your UNREGISTERED-DEMO Copy until your
- REGISTERED Copy arrives.
-
- (6) Use of the Program. While you are evaluating the Program, you may
- use it on as many computers as are required to perform your
- evaluation. Your 30-day evaluation period begins when you first
- install the Program on one or more computers for evaluation purposes.
- Once the evaluation period is over and you purchase the program, your
- use is subject to the following restrictions:
-
- (A) You agree not to install or use any individual copy of the
- Program on more than one computer at a time. However, you may
- install an individual copy simultaneously on one computer at
- work, one computer at home, and one portable computer, if all
- these computers are used primarily by the same individual, and
- there is no possibility that the computers will be in use at the
- same time except while you are actively transferring files
- between them. (If the Program was purchased by your employer you
- agree to get your employer's explicit permission before
- installing the Program on multiple computers as described above.)
-
- (B) If you purchased a multi-system license for the Program you agree
- not to install or use it on more computers than the number
- included in your license, as shown on your order form, invoice,
- the program sign-on screen, or other documents from us.
-
- (7) Making and Distributing UNREGISTERED-DEMO Copies of the Program.
- You may make copies of your UNREGISTERED-DEMO Copy of the Program to
- give to others, as long as you include all of the files that you
- originally received with your UNREGISTERED-DEMO Copy. When you give
- an UNREGISTERED-DEMO Copy of the Program to another person, you agree
- to inform them that their copy is to be used for a time limited
- evaluation period, and that they must purchase a REGISTERED Copy if
- they continue to use the Program once the evaluation period has
- ended. You agree not to sell UNREGISTERED-DEMO Copies of the Program
- or distribute them to others for any kind of compensation or fee
- unless you have written permission from StepWare Inc..
-
