1. GENERAL:

This EULA governs the use of the Software made available by or on behalf of SASoft Inc. ("SASoft", "we", "us" or "our"). For purposes of this EULA, "Software" means such application software, together with all components thereof and all updates, patches, fixes, modifications and enhancements thereto, including releases of new versions, whether provided to you via download, automatically without additional consent or action on your part or otherwise, and any and all accompanying documentation, files and materials.

2. LICENSE GRANT:

Subject to your agreement and compliance with the terms and conditions of this EULA, SASoft grants to you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license (without the right to sublicense) to install, use, access, display and run one copy of the Software on the hard disk or other fixed storage medium of a computer or a workstation (collectively, "Devices") which you own or are under your control solely for your personal or internal business use. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing license may not be shared or used concurrently on multiple Devices without the purchase of additional licenses from SASoft for each such Device accessing, displaying, running, and/or using the Software.

For purposes of the foregoing license grant, the continued use of the Software pursuant to Section 2 above after the expiration of the applicable "trial period" designated by SASoft without the payment of the applicable license fee is outside the scope of the foregoing license and a violation of this EULA and United States ("U.S.") and international copyright laws.

5. DATA COLLECTION AND USE:

You hereby agree that SASoft, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, and their respective successors and assigns, may collect and use certain technical information associated with your use of the Software, including, without limitation, any information provided in connection with any support or technical services for the Software, in accordance with SASoft’s privacy policy.

6. TERMINATION:
