bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which will govern your use of the Software.
If you do not agree to this Agreement, do not download, install or use the Software. Any offence against
this Agreement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. You will be held responsible for any
employees or users who receive the Software and in turn make unauthorized copies.
You may copy the Software to another disk or media, for the purpose of backup protection only in the event

You should carefully read the following terms and conditions before using the Software.
2. GRANT OF LICENSE
SOS grants to you and you accept, subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement,
a nonexclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable right to use the Software solely and
strictly in accordance with the following conditions and restrictions. You hold full responsibility for
assuring that all users of the Software provided access under the provisions of the Software license adhere
to all provisions and prohibitions of this Agreement.
Server License.
Use the Software on 1 (one) physical or virtual machine in an Intranet/Extranet, or over
an Internet installation. The use is limited to the number of server licenses bought with/for the Software.
Absent a purchase of additional server licenses, this Software may be used only on the licensed physical or
virtual machine. One server license is required for each physical or virtual machine running your
application/system which embeds JobScheduler. Licenses for additional servers can be bought from SOS.
It does not matter how JobScheduler is technically separated from your application/system. Regardless of
where or how JobScheduler is loaded, all servers that serve the application/system which embeds JobScheduler
must be licensed. A server license includes access for an unlimited number of users to connect from either
inside the corporate local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), or outside the firewall.
Disaster Recovery.
The only permissible exception to the above requirements for a server license is a disaster recovery
environment for which the Software is installed but is not operated in parallel to a licensed primary environment.
If the Software is used in a disaster recovery environment, the licensee may use the Software on a temporary basis
only for the time that a disaster situation is in place. The Software may not be operated in both the primary
environment and the disaster recovery environment. In addition, the number of CPUs/Cores in the disaster recovery
environment may not exceed the number of CPUs/Cores on the licensee’s primary enviornment.
In this configuration, the disaster recovery environment does not require an additional server license.
Any other configurations require to license any machines or servers as usual.
You are not permitted to:
(a) make copies of, or distribute any parts of the Software.
(b) rent, lease, sublicense, loan, copy, modify, alter, adapt, merge,
translate, reverse engineer, decompile, or repackage the Software into
another product, or to disassemble it or create derivative works, based
on the whole, or any part, of the Software or its associated
documentation. Reverse engineering and modification however is permitted
for those parts of the Software that are based on third party libraries,
which are licensed under a different license, but only if required by
that license or in case of statutory provisions.
(c) copy the Software for the purpose of illegal distribution.
SOS will provide you with an unlock key which enables the use of the Software
license. The information contained in the unlock key will include among others
the type of license and the number of licensed servers. You might also have to
provide the names of the machine on which the Software will be installed. SOS
further reserves the right to introduce and use appropriate license enforcement
techniques in its software, which are designed to prevent illegal use or
distribution of the Software. The license enforcement techniques might require
activation of the Software license. This will not require establishing a
temporary network connection to a SOS web service. SOS reserves all rights to
modify the license enforcement techniques used in the Software at any time.
If you possess an evaluation or demonstration license of the Software, you may
download, install and use the Software on your machine for evaluation or
demonstration purposes only. You are not allowed to use the evaluation or
demonstration license for commercial or production purposes. The evaluation and
demonstration licenses might be time limited and may include other restrictions
in terms of functionality.
Application Service Provider (ASP). An ASP is a service firm which deploys,
manages, and delivers application capabilities to multiple entities from a data
centre, across a wide area network, and/or through centrally-located machine(s)
or server(s) under a "rental" or lease agreement, free of charge or at cost.
Except for the limitation described below, the server license of the Software
can be utilized as part of an ASP service offering whereby you provide
web-based software and hosting of that software for use by third parties for a
fee or free of charge.
Limitation of ASP utilization. You are not permitted to use the server license
of the Software as part of your ASP service in order to offer job scheduling
functionality, which substantially duplicates the functionality of the Software.
JobScheduler functionality as part of any kind of ASP offering is only
permitted as long as the JobScheduler functionality remains an inferior
functionality as part of a superior ASP feature set and/or service.

all applicable license fees. If such fees have not been paid prior to your
acceptance of the Software license, you agree to pay such fees promptly
thereafter and before using the Software.
