Transfer Restrictions/No Assignment. The SOFTWARE may only be used<br />
under this license at Licensee’s Site and on designated equipment as set forth<br />
in the license grant above, and may not be moved to a location other than the<br />
Licensee’s Site or used on equipment other than the designated equipment or<br />

law, including change of control, merger, sale of assets, or otherwise) this<br />

transfer will be ineffective, null, and void (and Licensee will be in breach of<br />
this Agreement).<br />

applications, (ii) use of FLEXlm options file that restricts access to the<br />
SOFTWARE to identified users; (iii) maintaining and storing license information<br />
in paper format only; (iv) changing TCP port numbers every three (3)<br />
