2. LICENSE

2.1 License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement the Licensor hereby grants to the Licensee, and the Licensee hereby accepts from the Licensor, a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable EXCEPT as specifically permitted in 2.3, indivisible license (the "License") from the Effective Date and either:
(a) continuing for the Term, to use the Software on the Designated System, in each case for its own internal business use only and not for use by or for any third party; or
(b) continuing for the Evaluation Period only, to use the Software on the Designated System for the purpose of its own internal evaluation of the Software so as to determine whether to enter into a longer term license of the Software, and not for use by or for any third party (the "Purpose"). The Licensee acknowledges and confirms that the Software contains subfiles which restrict the use of the Software, but in any case subject to termination in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.2 Restriction to Designated System. The Licensee acknowledges and confirms that the License File will restrict the use of the Software to the Designated System. In the event that the Licensee:
(a) of a Node-locked License desires to transfer the use of the Software to a newly designated computer which shall then be the Designated System, the Licensee shall request prior written permission from the Licensor, which permission shall not be unreasonably withheld provided that such new system is in the same location as the Designated System. Upon receipt of this permission, the Licensee may transfer use of the License File to the newly designated computer. The Licensee shall destroy all copies or records of the Software in the previous Designated System or shall transfer all of these copies or records to the newly designated computer, and shall, if requested by the Licensor, promptly certify in writing that no copies or record of the Software exists outside of the newly designated computer; or
(b) of a Floating License desires to transfer the use of the Software to a newly designated computer within the Designated System, the transfer will take place automatically by exiting the Software on a computer within the Designated System and launching the Software on a newly designated computer within the Designated System which has been configured to request a Floating License from the License Manager, but provided in all cases that sufficient computers are available within such Floating License on the Designated System.

2.3 Additional Restrictions. Notwithstanding the License by the Licensor to the Licensee, the Licensee expressly acknowledges and confirms that no rights are granted pursuant to this Agreement to use the Software in any manner whatsoever except as provided for herein, and that the License shall not and does not include any right of the Licensee to directly or indirectly or permit others to:
(a) lease, sell, transfer, assign, rent, encumber, or otherwise dispose of or part with possession in any manner the License, the Software or any part thereto, including but not limited to any sublicenses of the License (with any such purported sublicense being null and void) without the prior written consent of the Licensor, which may be withheld at the discretion of the Licensor except as further provided in this clause 2.3(a). The Licensor acknowledges that, in certain cases, the Licensee has licensed the Software to complete subcontract work on behalf of the Licensee's clients, and that the terms of such subcontract may require the transfer of all project related materials to the client at the completion of the project, including the License. The Licensor agrees not to unreasonably withhold permission to transfer the License in this situation, on terms and conditions acceptable to the Licensor in its sole discretion. These terms and conditions may include, but are not limited to that the Licensee requests approval from the Licensor at least 30 days prior to the proposed transfer; that the transferee and the Licensee execute and deliver to the Licensor such transfer and assignment documentation as the Licensor may require including, among other things, the transferee agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of the License; and that the Licensee complies with all other terms and conditions of this License, including but not limited to Clause 6.2 (post termination). For the avoidance of doubt, any transfer pursuant to this Clause 2.3(a) does NOT allow the Licensee to lease, rent or otherwise provide access to the Software as a service to persons that are not employees or agents of the Licensee;
(b) deal in any manner whatsoever with any other Intellectual Property of the Licensor;
(c) copy, duplicate or furnish to others any physical, magnetic or other version of the Software, except that if a License has been granted under clause 2.1(a) herein the Licensee may make a reasonable number of copies of the Software solely for back-up or archival purposes. Any such copy shall become the property of the Licensor, and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement except that no further copies of this copy may be made;
(d) use the Libraries or the Manuals except in conjunction with the Software;
(e) remove any copyright notice contained or included in any material (including the Software) provided by the Licensor;
(f) create or attempt to create the source computer programs or any part of them from the operational object programs or any other part of the Software licensed under this Agreement;

Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed in any way or for any purpose to constitute the parties hereto partners in the conduct of any business or otherwise. The relationship created by this Agreement does not constitute the granting of a franchise to the Licensee by the Licensor and no federal, provincial or state franchise statute, law, regulation or rule is intended to or has been applied by the parties, nor shall any such franchise, statute, law, regulation or rule be deemed or construed to apply to the formation, operation, administration or termination of this Agreement.
