algorithms of the SOFTWARE by any means whatever, or disclose any of the
foregoing; (b) host the SOFTWARE acquired under a node-locked license via
the Internet or Intranet; (c) use the SOFTWARE for timesharing or service
bureau purposes or otherwise circumvent the internal use restrictions;
(d) modify, incorporate into or with other software, or create a derivative work
of any part of the SOFTWARE; (e) disclose the results of any benchmarking of

activities, without the prior written permission of Synopsys;
(f) attempt to circumvent any user limits, maximum gate count limits or other

the SOFTWARE to create, modify, or simulate Designs for third parties; or (h)

malfunction of that product could reasonably be expected to result in
personal injury, death, or catastrophic loss.
Transfer Restrictions/No Assignment. The SOFTWARE may only be used
under this license at Licensee’s Site and on designated equipment as set forth
in the license grant above, and may not be moved to a location other than the
Licensee’s Site or used on equipment other than the designated equipment or
otherwise physically transferred without the prior written consent of
Synopsys. Any permitted physical transfer of the SOFTWARE will require that
Licensee executes a “Software Authorization Transfer Agreement” provided by
Synopsys. Further, Licensee shall not sublicense, or assign (by operation of
law, including change of control, merger, sale of assets, or otherwise) this
Agreement or any of the rights or licenses granted under this Agreement,
without the prior written consent of Synopsys. Any such unauthorized
transfer will be ineffective, null, and void (and Licensee will be in breach of
this Agreement).
Security. Licensee agrees to take all appropriate measures to safeguard the
SOFTWARE and prevent unauthorized access or use thereof. Suggested ways
to accomplish this include: (i) implementation of firewalls and other security
applications, (ii) use of FLEXlm options file that restricts access to the
SOFTWARE to identified users; (iii) maintaining and storing license information
in paper format only; (iv) changing TCP port numbers every three (3)
months; and (v) communicating to all authorized users that use of the
SOFTWARE is subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement. Licensee
shall monitor each end user’s use of the SOFTWARE to ensure that the end
user abides by the terms of this Agreement.
