Copyright and License Agreement
installed, and may be accessed only by users who are physically present at
that node. Further, a node-locked license may only be used by one user at a
time running one (1) instance of the SOFTWARE at a time.
Floating License. If Licensee has obtained the SOFTWARE under a floating
license, then a “session” refers to a concurrent user or session and the
SOFTWARE may be used concurrently by up to the quantity of sessions or
licenses indicated on the applicable Synopsys quote. All SOFTWARE must be
used within the country for which the systems were licensed and at
Licensee’s Site; however, if Licensee has a floating license then remote use is
permitted by employees who work at Licensee’s Site but are temporarily
telecommuting to that Licensee’s Site from less than fifty (50) miles away (for
example, an employee who works at a home office on occasion) as long as
such access is through a secure network that requires a secure ID card or
other protective security measures, but the maximum number of concurrent
sessions or nodes still applies. For purposes of this Agreement, the
“Licensee’s Site” means a five (5) mile radius around (a) the location of the
server on which the SOFTWARE resides, or (b) when a server is not required,
the location of the client computer for which the license was issued, each as
specified in the applicable Synopsys quote.
Evaluation License. If Licensee has obtained the SOFTWARE pursuant to an
evaluation license, then, in addition to all other terms and conditions herein,
the following restrictions apply: (a) the license to the SOFTWARE terminates
after the period of time indicated on the SOFTWARE file (unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by Synopsys); and (b) Licensee may use the SOFTWARE for
the sole purpose of internal testing and evaluation to determine whether
Licensee wishes to license the SOFTWARE on a commercial basis. Licensee
shall not use the SOFTWARE to design any integrated circuits for production
or pre-production purposes or any other commercial use including, but not
limited to, for the benefit of Licensee’s customers. If Licensee breaches any of
the foregoing restrictions, then Licensee shall pay to Synopsys a license fee
equal to Synopsys’s perpetual list price plus maintenance for the commercial
version of the SOFTWARE. Licensee agrees that damages for such a breach
would be difficult to assess, and such payment represents a reasonable
assessment of the potential damage to Synopsys. Licensee recognizes and
agrees that this amount is a reasonable, liquidated amount and not a
penalty. Evaluation licenses are provided “AS IS.” Therefore, the warranty and
indemnification provisions of this Agreement do not apply to evaluation
licenses.
