1. Software License

1.1 License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Progress hereby grants to Licensee and Licensee hereby accepts, a limited, non-transferable, perpetual, sublicenseable (solely as set forth in Section 1.3), non-exclusive license (the “License”) to use the Progress computer software identified as Progress Data Access and any updates, upgrades, modifications and error corrections thereto provided to Licensee (the “Programs”) and any accompanying documentation (the “Documentation”, together with the Programs, collectively the “Software”) solely as specified in this Agreement.

For purposes of this Agreement:

“Integrated Products” means Your proprietary software applications which: (i) are developed by Your Licensed Developers; (ii) add substantial functionality beyond the functionality provided by the incorporated components of the Programs; and (iii) are not commercial alternatives for, or competitive in the marketplace with, the Programs or any components of the Programs.

“Licensed Developers” means Your employees or third-party contractors authorized to develop software specifically for You using the Software in accordance with this Agreement. 

1.2 Scope of Use. The Software is licensed, not sold, on a per-seat basis. The number of Licensed Developers using the Software must correspond to the maximum number of License seats You have been granted by Progress hereunder. The Software is in “use” on a computer when it is loaded into temporary memory (i.e. RAM) or installed into permanent memory (e.g. hard disk or other storage device). Your Licensed Developers may install the Software on multiple machines, so long as the Software is not being used simultaneously for development purposes at any given time by more Licensed Developers than You have License seats. You are not limited by the number of License seats with respect to how many individuals within Your organization may access and use the Software for testing and building purposes. You may also embed copies of the Programs in Your Integrated Products that You license and distribute to Your own end-user licensees, including but not limited to, Your employees (“Authorized End-Users”), solely in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 1.3 below. 

1.3 License for Redistribution.

In no event are You allowed to distribute the Software or sublicense its use (a) in any format other than in object form, (b) as a standalone product, or (c) as a part of any product other than Your Integrated Product.

1.3.2 The foregoing license to redistribute the Programs is conditioned upon the following: 

1.3.2.1 You hereby acknowledge and agree that You are solely responsible for Your Authorized End-User’s use of the Programs in accordance with the limitations set forth in subsection 1.3.1 (iii) and liable for such Authorized End-User’s breach of such limitations

11. Confidentiality

Except as otherwise provided herein, each party expressly undertakes to retain in confidence all information and know-how transmitted or disclosed to the other that the disclosing party has identified as being proprietary and/or confidential or that, by the nature of the circumstances surrounding the disclosure, ought in good faith to be treated as proprietary and/or confidential, and expressly undertakes to make no use of such information and know-how except under the terms and during the existence of this Agreement.
