30 Day Free Evaluation Period
Please take up to 30 days after you start using the Software (“Evaluation Period”) to determine whether it meets your needs and performs to your satisfaction. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, NetCitadel grants you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable license to use and evaluate the Software during the Evaluation Period solely for your internal non-production testing and evaluation purposes and solely in accordance with any associated Documentation (as defined below). After the Evaluation period ends, you shall have no further right to use the Software unless you purchase a License (as defined below).
License grant
Following the Evaluation Period, in order to continue to use the Software, you shall pay to NetCitadel the applicable license fee (“License Fee”).
Upon payment of the License Fee and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, NetCitadel hereby grants you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, and nonsublicensable license to use (in executable form only) the Software on one computer for your personal use and only in accordance with the Documentation, provided that you may exercise the foregoing rights on a second computer as long as you are the primary user of such second computer (i.e., you are the user of such computer at least 80% of the time such computer is used).
License Restrictions
You shall not (and will not allow any third party to) (i) reverse engineer or attempt to discover any source code or underlying ideas or algorithms of the Software (other than any portions of the Software released in source code form and except to the extent that applicable law prohibits reverse engineering restrictions), (ii) provide, lease, lend, license, sublicense, sell, use the Software for timesharing or service bureau purposes, or otherwise use or allow others to use the Software for the benefit of any third party, (iii) use the Software, or allow the transfer, transmission, export, or re-export of the Software or any portion thereof in violation of any export control laws or regulations administered by the U.S. Commerce Department, OFAC, or any other government agency, (iv) copy, modify or create derivative works of the Software (except as allowed under the Archival or Backup Copies Section below) or the Documentation, (v) alter or remove any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice from the Software, the Documentation, or any portion thereof, or (vi) use the Software to perform any benchmarking or comparative testing.

Title
You acknowledge and agree that, as between you and NetCitadel, NetCitadel owns all right, title and interest in the Software and all intellectual property rights related thereto, including without limitation all related written materials and associated documentation (“Documentation”).
License to Updates
Your payment of the License Fee, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, entitles you to updates, fixes, and patches of the Software that Licensor makes generally available for download (each, a “minor release”), but not to any “major releases.” A “major release” is defined as those represented by release numbers X.0. A “minor release” is any other release, represented by a release number X.Y, where Y is a number greater than zero. For example, if you purchased a license to FIREWALL BUILDER v4.0, you are entitled to FIREWALL BUILDER v4.1, but you are not entitled to v5.0. You shall also not be entitled to any other software product offered by NetCitadel. Any update must be used in the same installation as the original version licensed under the License. All such updates to the Software shall be governed by the then-current version of this Agreement at the time of your download of such update.
Technical Support
Technical support is provided via email and online forums.

You may copy the Software for back up and archival purposes, provided that the original and each copy is kept in your possession and that your installation and use of the Software does not exceed that allowed in the “License Grant” section above.
