2.1 Software Development License. Rightware grants to the Licensee, subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms and subject to payment of the Software Development License Fee set forth in Sections 3.1, a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, worldwide, non-transferable, revocable right and license with respect to the Software and all Intellectual Property Rights, during the Term of the Agreement, depending on the agreed license type, to either:
(a) install the Kanzi Framework on the basis of a Node Locked Development License to one (1) computer and use it on the computer where it is installed. Kanzi Framework is only compatible with the supported computer environments, described in the Documentation. Other components of the Software including Kanzi SDK, Documentation and Kanzi Feature Packs may be installed and copied to other computers and used as described in the Documentation, if and to the extent permitted by the build-in technical license control mechanisms of the Software. Certain Kanzi Feature Packs will only work on one computer with one purchased license as described in the Documentation; or
(b) in case of a Floating Development License pursuant to Section 2.1.2 to have several installations of Software on multiple computers of Licensee's network.
2.1.1 Transfer of Node Locked Development License. Rightware may allow a limited number of Node Locked Development License transfers from one computer to another e.g. in cases of computer upgrades or breakdowns.
2.1.2 Floating Development License. When selecting a Floating Development License, Licensee is required to install a floating license server on the Licensee's network or alternatively use Rightware provided floating license server. The floating license server is a server which allows one or more (depending on the number of Floating Development Licenses bought) Software installations to function at the same time. The floating license server needs to be installed by the Licensee on a physical server and operated within the Licensee's internal network.
There are two types of a Floating Development License:
(a) Global Floating Development License. The Global Floating Development License is a multi-site Floating Development License that allows the Licensee to install the floating license server to be available for Software use from any location in the world globally; and
(b) Country Floating Development License. The Country Floating Development License allows the Licensee to install the floating license server to be available for Software use from any location in one agreed country. Accessing and reserving the Country Floating Development License from any other country is expressly prohibited.
2.1.3 Available Software Formats. The Software Development License specified above in this Section 2.1 will allow the Licensee to use and execute the Software in source code, object or executable form (as determined by Rightware in the Documentation) for the sole purpose of developing Embedded Applications.
2.2 Kanzi Learning License. Rightware may, at its sole discretion grant to Licensee the license specified in Section 2.1 as a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, revocable right and license restricted for use of learning and competence development purposes only. The Kanzi Learning License is not subject to the payment of a Licensee Fee. Licensee is not entitled to use the Kanzi Learning License for any other activity including but not limited to (i) building commercial demonstrators, (ii) offering any kind of commercial or non-commercial services to a third party, (iii) running the Software on any embedded platform not included and documented in the Kanzi One delivery, and (iv) developing commercial applications or participate in any way in any commercial development effort. Kanzi Learning License is limited to a time period specified by Rightware. It may be terminated by Rightware at its sole discretion at any time with immediate effect. Rightware may provide limited support for the use of Kanzi Learning License at its sole discretion, and it may stop such support at any point of time.
2.3 Production License. Rightware grants to the Licensee, subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms, a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable, revocable right and license with respect to the Software and the Intellectual Property Rights to use the Software during the Term of the Agreement and subject to payment of the Production License Fees set forth in Section 3.4 herein to manufacture, market, sell, ship and commercially distribute Embedded Applications and/or End Products for commercial purposes.
2.4 Kanzi Platform Support License. Rightware grants to the Licensee, subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable, revocable right and license with respect to the Software and all Intellectual Property Rights to use the Software during the term of the Agreement and subject to payment of the Kanzi Platform Support License Fee set forth in Section 3.3 herein to run Kanzi Engine on one specific Licensee Platform. To obtain a Kanzi Platform Support License, the Licensee needs to separately request it and deliver to Rightware a development environment that fulfils the requirements specified by Rightware. Licensee is required to loan the development environment to Rightware free of charge so that Rightware is able to properly test and prepare the Kanzi Engine on the Platform. Rightware has the obligation to return the development environment when it is no longer required as requested by the Licensee. Kanzi Platform Support License delivery will include i) ported and tested Kanzi Engine libraries for the Licensee Platform; ii) release notes how to install and use the Kanzi Engine libraries on the Platform; and iii) Kanzi binary player application that runs on the Platform.
2.5 Trial Use License. Rightware may, at its sole discretion grant to Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, revocable right and license for a certain period of time determined by Rightware during which the Licensee is entitled to test the Software without paying a License Fee to Rightware. During the Trial Use, Licensee is not permitted to use the Software for any commercial purposes, unless specifically authorized by Rightware in writing. At the end of the period during which Trial Use is granted, the Licensee must stop using the Software or buy a license to continue using the Software. Rightware has the right to terminate or stop any Trial Use at any point of time at its sole discretion.
2.6 New License in case of Platform Change. Any Platform Change as defined in Section 1.39 will constitute a new development environment and will therefore require the Licensee to purchase a new Kanzi Platform Support License. Changes of the internal version number or revision of the same SOC, specific toolchain or windowing system of the Platform will not be regarded as a Platform Change in the sense of this Agreement. If and to the extent that a change of the version of an operating system of the Platform does not require Rightware to rebuild and test the Kanzi Platform Support, then that change of the version of an operating system shall also be deemed not to constitute a Platform Change and there is no need to buy a new license. However, if new version of an operating system requires Rightware to rebuild the platform support package, then this shall constitute a Platform Change and requires a new license.
2.7 Sublicensing. The Licensee shall be entitled to grant a limited right of use in respect of its Software Development License and/or Kanzi Platform Support License to a subcontractor of Licensee solely as far as this is necessary to enable such subcontractor to provide required services to Licensee. Any other use by Licensee's sublicensed subcontractor is strictly prohibited and Licensee is not entitled to grant any Production License to any of its subcontractors. Licensee is responsible for the limited use of the sublicenses as provided for in this Section and the compliance by its sublicensed subcontractors with the Terms of this Agreement. Licensee is obliged to pay to Rightware the applicable License Fees agreed upon between the Parties for any limited use of the Software Development License and/or Kanzi Platform Support License by a subcontractor. Rightware does not directly support any subcontractor to whom the limited right of use as provided for in this Section is granted.
2.8 Ownership of Intellectual Property Rights. Rightware and the licensors of Third Party Software, respectively, own and solely retain all rights, title and interest including but not limited to all Intellectual Property Rights to the Software and to the Kanzi Platform Support. All rights, titles and interest to the Software and to the Kanzi Platform Support shall at all times be the sole property of Rightware and its Third Party Licensors, respectively. Rightware will also retain all rights in and to the results of any possible work performed by Rightware under these Terms. Any use of the Software or Kanzi Platform Support in deviation to these Terms is expressly forbidden.
2.9 Compliance with the Terms of this Agreement. The licenses described in these Terms give the Licensee only a limited license to use the Software, which is subject to termination in accordance with Section 10. Any use of the Software in deviation to these Terms is expressly forbidden and may lead to a termination of the Agreement by Rightware according to Section 10.4. These rights and licenses are temporary and valid only for as long as the Agreement is in force.
2.10 Copies of the Software. Licensee shall only be entitled to make copies of the Software with the explicit prior written consent of Rightware. To the extent that copies of the Software are permitted by Rightware, any copy of the Software permitted hereupon shall be subject to the provisions of these Terms.

Subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms, Rightware grants to the Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable license to access and use the Kanzi SDK to (i) develop, test, display and execute Plug-Ins to enhance and add features and functionalities of Software and (ii) distribute to third parties, or permit third parties to access Plug-In as defined in these Terms.
2.13 Plug-Ins. Subject to the terms of the Agreement, the Licensee is entitled to use and share with third parties who have a valid commercial (non-trial) license to Software from Rightware, any Plug-In developed with the Kanzi SDK that enhances the experience of Software users. The Licensee is, however, not entitled to commercially license or distribute the Plug-In, unless the Licensee has formally informed Rightware and obtained its prior written approval. The Licensee is solely responsible for any Plug-In that it develops and releases and it needs to clearly indicate to a potential licensor of the Plug-In that Licensee is responsible for the Plug-In and not Rightware.
Rightware reserves the right to modify the Kanzi SDK at any point of time, and to release subsequent versions. The Licensee may be required to use the most recent version of the Kanzi SDK in order to obtain functionality for associated Plug-Ins.
2.14 New Features of Rightware. The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Rightware may create features, applications, content, and other products or services at any point of time that may be similar to Plug-Ins, and nothing in this Agreement will be construed as restricting or preventing Rightware from creating and fully exploiting such applications, content and other items, without any obligation to the Licensee. The Licensee covenants and agrees not to bring suit before any court or administrative agency or otherwise assert any claim against Rightware and/or any of its affiliates, suppliers or customers based on any of the Licensee's intellectual property rights in the Plug-Ins developed over the Kanzi SDK when they are used together with Kanzi Framework.
The Licensee agrees that it shall impose a corresponding obligation as stated above in this Section on any third party to whom Licensee may assign or transfer Licensee's intellectual property rights in Plug-Ins. This obligation is restricted to suits or other assertions based on such assigned or transferred intellectual property rights.
