License Agreement

These are recaps of key points in our license agreement. For exact license terms and conditions please read the full License Agreement below.

Key License Points

  • Licenses are PER DEVELOPER. One developer may use a single license on more than one machine as long as they are not used concurrently or shared by other developers. This means, for instance, a single license may be used on an office machine, a home machine, and a laptop.

  • If you have purchased a Site License the license includes all software developers within the purchasing organization. The developer(s) for which the SOFTWARE PRODUCT has been licensed should be located at the same business address or from time to time telecommute from home or other locations external to the business address.

  • If you have purchased an Enterprise License the license includes all software developers within the purchasing organization. The developer(s) for which the SOFTWARE PRODUCT has been licensed can be located at any business address or from time to time telecommute from home or other locations external to the business addresses.

  • In addition to the license and rights granted for a Site License, Stand By Soft grants you the right to use and modify the source provided you licensed source code.

  • The product is licensed ROYALTY FREE. You pay to use them at design time. You do not pay additional royalties when you create an executable and distribute the component with that executable.

LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR STAND BY SOFT SOFTWARE:
(Revised January 8, 2007)

This License Agreement ("LICENSE") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single entity) and Stand By Soft SRL ("StandBySoft") for the StandBySoft software product accompanying this LICENSE, which includes computer software and may include associated media, printed materials, and online or electronic documentation ("SOFTWARE PRODUCT"). By installing, copying, or otherwise using the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, you agree to be bound by the terms of this LICENSE. If you do not agree to the terms of this LICENSE, do not install, copy, or use the SOFTWARE PRODUCT.

The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is licensed, not sold.

  1. RIGOROUS ENFORCEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

    If the licensed right of use for this SOFTWARE PRODUCT is purchased by you with any intent to reverse engineer, decompile, create derivative works, and the exploitation or unauthorized transfer of, any StandBySoft intellectual property and trade secrets, to include any exposed methods or source code where provided, no licensed right of use shall exist, and any products created as a result shall be judged illegal by definition of all applicable law. Any sale or resale of intellectual property or created derivatives so obtained will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of all local, federal and international law.

  2. GRANT OF LICENSE

    This LICENSE, if legally executed as defined herein, licenses and so grants you the following rights:

    1. Binary License

      You may install and use multiple copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT or any prior version legally licensed once a single developer license ("Single Developer License") has been obtained from StandBySoft or a reseller authorized by StandBySoft, generally via some form of registration. A Single Developer License for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT may not be shared or used concurrently by more than one individual developer.

      If you have purchased a "multi-developer" license, the SOFTWARE PRODUCT may be used by a number of developers associated with it (e.g. the four developer license allows you to use the product by four different developers, the eight developer license allows you to use the product by eight different developers).

      If you have purchased a site license for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT ("Site License"), then the LICENSE extends to include all software developers within the purchasing organization. The developer(s) for which the SOFTWARE PRODUCT has been licensed should be located at the same business address or from time to time telecommute from home or other locations external to the business address.

      If you have purchased an enterprise license for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT ("Enterprise License"), then the LICENSE extends to include all software developers within the purchasing organization. The developer(s) for which the SOFTWARE PRODUCT has been licensed can be located at any business address or from time to time telecommute from home or other locations external to the business addresses.

    2. Source Code License

      In addition to the license and rights granted for a Site License, StandBySoft grants you the right to use and modify the StandBySoft source provided you licensed source code.

      1. StandBySoft shall retain all right, title and interest in and to all updates, modifications, enhancements and derivative works, in whole or in part, of the StandBySoft Source Code created by you, including all copyrights subsisting therein, to the extent such modifications, enhancements or derivative works contain copyrightable code or expression derived from the StandBySoft source code; provided, however, that StandBySoft grants to you a fully-paid, royalty free license, to use copy and modify such updates, modifications, enhancements and derivative works or copies thereof for use as authorized in this LICENSE.

      2. You may not distribute the StandBySoft source code, or any modified version or derivative work of the StandBySoft source code, in source code form.

      3. StandBySoft require all developers who plan to access StandBySoft source code signing on the source code license. As long as they signed, they become registered developers. An alternative to this is to let a delegate signs source code license as an organization. The delegate will be responsible for letting other developers who plan to access the source code reviewing this license agreement first before releasing them the access.

      4. The source code contained herein and in related files is provided to the registered developer for the purposes of education and troubleshooting. Under no circumstances may any portion of the source code be distributed, disclosed or otherwise made available to any third party without the express written consent of StandBySoft.

      5. Under no circumstances may the source code be used in whole or in part, as the basis for creating a product that provides the same, or substantially the same, functionality as any StandBySoft products.

      6. The registered developer acknowledges that this source code contains valuable and proprietary trade secrets of StandBySoft. The registered developer agrees to expend every effort to insure its confidentiality. For example, under no circumstances may the registered developer allow to put the source code on an internal network where he or she has no control.

      7. Due to the insecurity of Java byte-code, if you plan to use classes that built from the source code directly, you must agree to obfuscate the classes before distributing it to your customers.

    3. Non-Commercial License

      You may use the non-commercial versions of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for the limited purposes of demonstrations, trials and design time evaluations or non-commercial use. Non-commercial applications must contain this LICENSE and clearly specify they are using the SOFTWARE PRODUCT.

    4. Academic License

      The Academic License permits using of a fully-functional version of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for non-commercial, non-adimistrative and educational purposes only. This license is available to students and teaching staff of accredited educational institutions. StandBySoft will not grant the license if it does not recognize the institution as accredited.
