2.LICENSE GRANT. Provided you comply with all terms and conditions of this EULA, The Flash Board grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Software in accordance with the License Type licensed to you. The Software is licensed solely for internal use within your organization; any other use, including for third parties or for commercial purposes, is expressly prohibited. A "Fulfillment Confirmation" in the form of a product or package label or a confirmation e-mail will be sent to you and will identify the Software licensed to you under this EULA and the License Type.

With respect to your internal use of the Software as permitted above in this Section 2, you may permit third party consultants and contractors (such as your third-party supplier(s) of information services) ("authorized users") to use the Software, provided that (i) all such use is in accordance with the terms and conditions of this EULA, and (2) you assume full responsibility and liability for any use of the Software by such third parties in excess of the licensed number of Nodes or Concurrent Users or otherwise in violation of this EULA.
3.COPIES. You may make copies of the Software provided that any such copy: (i) is created as an essential step in the utilization of the Software as licensed under this EULA, or (ii) is only for archival purposes to back-up the Software. All trademark, copyright, and proprietary rights notices must be faithfully reproduced and included by you on such copies. You may not make any other copies of the Software.
4.OTHER RESTRICTIONS. The Flash Board reserves all rights not expressly granted to you. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you shall not nor shall you permit any other party to: (i) disassemble, de-compile, reverse engineer, or translate any part of the Software, or otherwise attempt to reconstruct or discover the source of this Software, except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation, or (ii) modify or create derivative works based upon the Software, or (iii) externally distribute, sublicense, resell, encumber, or otherwise transfer this Software, or (iv) rent, lease, lend, or use the Software for timesharing or bureau use, or (v) allow a third party to copy, access, or use the Software (except as expressly provided in Section 2 of this EULA), or (vi) disclose the results of any benchmark test of the Software to a third party without the prior written approval of The Flash Board, or (vii) take any actions that would cause the Software to become subject to any open source or quasi-open source license agreement.
5.OWNERSHIP. You acknowledge that all title and intellectual property in and to the Software (including all copies thereof) are owned by The Flash Board or its licensor(s), if any. The Software is protected by U.S. and international laws, including without limitation copyright and trademark law and international treaty provisions. The Software is licensed to you, not sold.
6.COPYRIGHTS; TRADE SECRETS. You acknowledge and agree that the structure, sequence, and organization of the Software (including but not limited to any technical configurations, technical data, images, photographs, animations, video, audio, music, and text) are proprietary to and are the valuable trade secrets of The Flash Board and its licensors. You agree to hold such trade secrets in confidence. Unless explicitly set forth in a written agreement executed between The Flash Board and you, you may not remove from the Software or alter any of the trademarks, trade names, logos, patent or copyright notices or markings, or add any other notices or markings to the Software.

You are permitted to use the Software for evaluation or demonstration purposes only. The Software may contain an automatic disabling mechanism. Your right to use the Software is limited in accordance with the terms under which you received the Software. If no period of use is specified, then your right to use the Software shall terminate thirty (30) days from receipt of the Software, at which time you must return or destroy the Software.
8.ACTIVATION KEY. The use of the Software may require an "activation key" from The Flash Board or its authorized reseller. The activation key may be a printable digital key, a non-printable file, or any other mechanism used by The Flash Board for license activation purposes. You agree that you will not attempt to "hack," "crack," or otherwise override this activation key.
9.UPDATES. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this EULA will govern any Software updates and upgrades that may be provided to you in accordance with The Flash Board’ then-current maintenance and support policies (including The Flash Board’ Annual Upgrade Protection program or "AUP" program), unless such updates and upgrades are provided under separate license agreement. You may use such updates or upgrades only in conjunction with your then-existing Software licensed under this EULA. The Software and all updates and upgrades are licensed as a single product and such updates and upgrades may not be separated from the Software to exceed the scope of your original license. Any other software that may be provided with the Software that is associated with a separate end-user license agreement is licensed to you under the terms of that separate license agreement.
10.LIMITED WARRANTY. If (a) the Software does not substantially conform to its specifications in the Documentation, the physical media accompanying the Software is defective, or if you are dissatisfied with the Software for any reason, and (b) if the Software (including all accompanying media, Documentation, packaging, and materials) is returned by you within thirty (30) days of first receipt, then your license fee for the Software will be refunded to you. Upon return, this EULA shall terminate and you must immediately cease all use of the Software and remove and erase or cause to be removed and erased all copies of any Software from all computers and storage media and devices within your possession or control or the possession or control of authorized users under Section 2 of this EULA. At The Flash Board’ request, you will certify in writing to The Flash Board that you have complied with this Section. In the event that the Software is licensed to you for evaluation or demonstration purposes, there shall be no refund because such licenses are free. In the event you purchase a license to the Software during or after an evaluation license for such Software, then The Flash Board shall have no obligation to refund any license fees paid by you for the license to the Software (i.e., the 30 day evaluation period is your thirty day limited warranty period). THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY TO SOFTWARE UPDATES AND UPGRADES; ALL UPDATES AND UPGRADES ARE LICENSED "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
11.NO OTHER WARRANTIES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY WARRANTED ABOVE IN SECTION 10, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ANY EXPRESS WARRANTY MADE OUTSIDE OF THIS EULA IS EXCLUDED AND SUPERCEDED. NEITHER The Flash Board NOR ITS LICENSORS REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL SATISFY YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT IT IS WITHOUT DEFECT OR ERROR OR THAT THE OPERATION THEREOF WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers or limitations of warranties, so some of these may not apply to you.

THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF The Flash Board OR ITS LICENSORS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS EULA OR THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE (REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION OR CLAIM, WHETHER CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT AND/OR OTHERWISE) SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF ALL LICENSE FEES PAID BY YOU FOR THE SOFTWARE LICENSE(S) GRANTED HEREUNDER.
15.SOLE REMEDY AND ALLOCATION OF RISK. YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND The Flash Board’ SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY ARE SET FORTH IN THIS EULA. This EULA defines a mutually agreed-upon allocation of risk.
16.NOTICE. THE SOFTWARE IS NOT INTENDED OR LICENSED FOR USE IN ANY HAZARDOUS OR HIGH RISK ACTIVITY.

The licenses granted herein shall automatically terminate without notice if you fail to comply with any material provision of this EULA.

LICENSE TYPES
The License Type purchased by you determines the license rights granted to you under this EULA. The License Type will be specified in the Fulfillment Confirmation provided to you. Such License Types include but are not limited to the following:

Evaluation License – An Evaluation License is a limited license that provides you an opportunity to try the Software before buying a full license. A temporary activation key will be issued to you for this license specifying the number of licensed nodes or concurrent users, and the evaluation period. The Software may only be used for evaluation purposes and not for commercial use. The Software is licensed to you only for the specified evaluation period, which will begin on the date that the Software is first downloaded by or delivered to you. If no period of use is specified, then your right to use the Software shall terminate thirty (30) days from receipt of the Software, at which time you must return or destroy the Software.

Not for Resale Demonstration ("NFR") License – An NFR License is a special, limited evaluation license that is provided to and solely for use by authorized The Flash Board channel and OEM partners to assist in demonstrating the Software to prospective customers. The Flash Board reserves the right to terminate this license at any time and at its sole discretion. Additionally, in the event that the partner relationship with The Flash Board expires or is terminated or the partner no longer uses the license as intended, the NFR License will immediately terminate.

Node License -- Under the terms of a Node License, you may use the Software to manage an aggregate number of Nodes within your organization not to exceed the sum of your licensed nodal count. A “Node” is any asset under management by the Software. An asset is: (a) a physical device such as a computer, PDA, or server, (b) a virtual device, such as an operating environment that may be running concurrently with another operating environment on a single physical device (e.g., VMware*, Virtual PC*, Virtual Server*), or (c) an object stored by the Software in a database, such object representing a physical or virtual asset for which data is being tracked or managed by the Software (e.g., printer, copier, etc.). A Node License will be deemed consumed for a particular Software product once an asset (as defined above) has been managed by a particular Software product. An asset has been managed by a particular Software product once the Software product has (i) been run locally on an asset, (ii) remotely interacted with and/or received a response from an asset, (iii) configured or changed a setting of or migrated settings to or from an asset, or (iv) otherwise performed any management functionality that such particular Software product has been designed to perform with respect to an asset. You must purchase a sufficient number of Node Licenses to cover all Node Licenses consumed by a particular Software product.

Concurrent User License -- Under the terms of a Concurrent User License, you may distribute and install internally within your organization an unrestricted number of copies of the Software, provided the number of users accessing or using the Software simultaneously does not exceed your licensed user count. Individuals solely using the “My Helpdesk Console” or any “self-help” functionality in the Software shall not count against your licensed user count.

Connector License -- Under the terms of a Connector License, you may distribute and install internally within your organization an unrestricted number of copies of the Software.
