New Atlanta BlueDragon Software License Agreement
IMPORTANT-READ CAREFULLY: This Software License Agreement ("SLA") is a legal contract between you ("Licensee") and New Atlanta Communications, LLC ("New Atlanta" or "NAC") that specifies your rights and obligations regarding the BlueDragon for J2EE Application Servers, BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework, BlueDragon Server JX and BlueDragon Server software products, and other related materials (the "Software"). As part of the Software download and installation process, you will be asked to accept and be bound by the terms and conditions of this SLA. Carefully read the following terms and conditions before installing or using the Software. You expressly agree that any varying or additional terms contained in any purchase order or any other written notification or document issued by you in relation to the Software licensed hereunder shall be of no effect.
If you do not agree with the terms and conditions of this SLA, do not download, install, or use the Software; promptly delete and destroy all copies of the Software in your possession. In addition, if you are obtaining your limited license rights to use the Software from an authorized VAR/OEM (the "VAR/OEM") of NAC, you may have other obligations with respect to such VAR/OEM.
BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING OR USING ANY COPY OF THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND CONFIRM THAT YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS SLA.
1. SOFTWARE PRODUCTS AND LICENSE GRANT VERSIONS
The Software is available in four versions: a) limited use Trial/Development version, b) full use, thirty (30) day Evaluation version, c) full use, Non-commercial version and d) full use Commercial version. This SLA governs all four versions of the Software. The Commercial version requires you to pay a license fee. The Trial/Development, Evaluation and Non-commercial versions are provided without charge (but do not constitute "free" software).
1.1 Trial/Development Version Software (BlueDragon for J2EE, BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework and Server JX Only). Subject to this SLA, NAC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-sub-licensable license to download, install and use one (1) copy of the Software on an unlimited number of computers. The Trial/Development version contains built-in limitations that prevent it from being used effectively in production environments. More specifically, BlueDragon for J2EE, BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework and BlueDragon Server JX provide full functionality for 30 days after install at which time they revert to single IP access. By downloading and/or installing the Software, you agree not to circumvent these limitations by any means, including modifying the Software or its configuration files. You may use this Software solely to evaluate its applicability to your internal processing or for application development. The Trial/Development version may not be used for any commercial deployment or production purposes as these activities require a Commercial version license, which may be obtained via NAC’s web site or by contacting a NAC account representative.
1.2 Evaluation Version Software (BlueDragon for J2EE, BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework and Server JX Only). Subject to this SLA, NAC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-sub-licensable license to download, install and use one (1) copy of the Software for an evaluation period of thirty (30) days from the date you download the Evaluation version or the date you receive an Evaluation license key. You may use this Software solely to evaluate its applicability to your internal processing or application development requirements on a single computer. At the end of the evaluation period, this license shall terminate and will revert to single IP access. By downloading and/or installing the software, you agree not to circumvent these limitations by any means, including modifying the Software or its configuration files. The Evaluation version may not be used for any commercial deployment or production purposes, as these activities require a Commercial Version license, which may be obtained via the web site or by contacting a NAC account representative.
1.3 Non-commercial Version Software (BlueDragon Server). Subject to this SLA, NAC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-sub-licensable license to download, install and use BlueDragon Server for development, testing, non-commercial and non-governmental deployment purposes. The term "non-commercial," as used in this SLA, means personal, charitable, academic instructional or other use which (a) is not undertaken for profit, or (b) is not intended to produce works, services, or data for commercial use, or (c) is neither conducted, nor funded, by a person or an entity engaged in the commercial use or application of BlueDragon Server. Without limiting the above restriction, BlueDragon Server may not be used for commercial purposes. Examples of commercial purposes would be running business operations, licensing, leasing, or selling the Software, distributing the Software for use with commercial products, using the Software in the creation or use of commercial products or any other activity which purpose is to procure a commercial gain to you or others. Government or non-instructional academic use of the products does not qualify for a non-commercial license. By downloading and/or installing the software, you agree not to circumvent these limitations by any means, including modifying the Software or its configuration files. In addition, any and all limitations designed into the software may not be circumvented in any manner unless expressly permitted by New Atlanta in writing. This includes, but is not limited to, defeating the SSL limitation by use of a proxy server or by any other means. BlueDragon Server may not be: i) bundled or distributed with yours or any third party application(s), ii) used to provide commercial web hosting services or, iii) used to provide commercial services in an Application Service Provider (ASP) environment, unless a separate and unique agreement is in place with NAC that explicitly grants these rights. It remains the sole responsibility of the Licensee to ensure deployment is for non-commercial and non-governmental use only. For questions about permitted use of this version, please contact NAC.
