This license type may also be referred to as a “Local” License. The Single Seat License permits You to install the Software on more than one computer system, e.g., a desktop computer and a laptop computer normally used by the same person at different times, provided that there is no possibility that the Software will be used on more than one computer system simultaneously; any such simultaneous use requires a separate license for each computer system.

The Trial Version of the Software may have limited features and may cease operating after a predetermined amount of time or number of uses based on a metering mechanism within the Trial License as determined solely by ConstructConnect.

In case of termination, Licensee will not be entitled to a refund of amount paid for the license to use the Software, or any other amounts for any reason. Software with a Subscription License may contain a device that limits Software usage in accordance with the license.

3.5 Freeware License: Under the terms of a Freeware License, one individual is licensed to use the Software on one computer or computing device at a time. The Freeware Version of the Software has limited features. The Freeware user may use the Freeware License for evaluation or production purposes. The Software licensed under the Freeware License is not eligible for product support.

4. Licensing Requirements and Restrictions

Floating Seat Licenses are the only license types that permit virtual system uses. Virtualization technology may not be used to circumvent other licensing terms and restrictions.

4.2 Non-Human Devices: Non-human devices that utilize the Software without interaction are counted as users. Each device that runs the Software must be properly licensed to use the Software with one of the license types described herein. Examples of non-human devices include, but are not limited to, virtual PCs, build servers, unattended PCs for batch jobs, etc.

• Backups and Prior Versions: Depending on the Software and License Type You have acquired, it may be possible to:

• Make two archival (backup) copies of the Software. However, the use of such backup copies must be in complete compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

• Maintain prior versions of the Software on the same computer with a properly licensed current version of Software. A prior version may be used by a properly licensed user in place of the current version of the software. The prior version is not an additional license of the Software; it may be used only as a substitute for the current version.
  
  

4.4 Audit: You agree that ConstructConnect may audit Your use of the Software for compliance with these terms at any time, upon reasonable notice. In the event such audit reveals any use of the Software by You other than in full compliance with the terms of this Agreement, You shall reimburse ConstructConnect for all reasonable expenses related to such audit in addition to any other liabilities You may incur as a result of such non-compliance.

4.5 The Software is licensed as a single product.

You may not modify the Software or create derivative works based upon the Software.

4.6 The provision of source code, if included with the Software, does not constitute transfer of any legal rights to such code, and resale or distribution of all or any portion of all source code and intellectual property will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of all applicable local, federal and international laws. All Software and other files remain ConstructConnect’s exclusive property. If source code or modifiable files are provided, regardless of any modifications that You make, You may not redistribute them unless ConstructConnect has expressly designated these as re-distributable.

In the event You install the Software on a Physical Server or Virtual Server and thereafter want to install the Software on the other type of server, You will be required to purchase the other version of Enterprise License Manager in order to use the Software on such other server. Enterprise License Manager allows ConstructConnect to track the use of the Software on the applicable Physical Server or Virtual Server, and Your installation of the Software will constitute Your agreement that ConstructConnect may utilize Enterprise License Manager for such purposes.

4.16 At the sole discretion of ConstructConnect, certain Ancillary Services or features may from time to time be made available to You for use with the Software. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and at the sole discretion of ConstructConnect (a) any or all of such Ancillary Services may be modified or discontinued and/or (b) the availability or continued availability of such Ancillary Services may require the payment by You of a separate service fee in an amount determined by ConstructConnect in its sole discretion. Any such service fees will be in addition to Your License fees and maintenance fees and/or other fees or amounts paid to or charged by ConstructConnect.
