3. License and Restrictions
- The Licensed Software is made available either under an Enterprise Free License, an Enterprise Evaluation License, or an Enterprise License, each with its own Special Conditions.
- Enterprise Evaluation License. Subject to Your performance under this Agreement, Expero grants to You a limited, nonexclusive, non-transferable license (without the right to sublicense) for 30 days, or for another duration agreed to in writing by Expero and You, beginning from the date the Evaluation Edition of the Licensed Software is made available to You (the Evaluation Term) to copy and use the Documentation and install and use the Licensed Software solely in object code form on compatible (in accordance with the hardware, operating system, and other instructions provided by Expero) devices owned or controlled by You, solely for Your internal evaluation of the software. At no time may You use the Licensed Software in the operation of any business. You may not (and may not permit any third party to 1) use any Licensed Software for any benchmarking purposes including running benchmark tests or publishing benchmark, performance, or comparison tests or results, in whole or in part, or 2) use any Licensed Software as a hosted service, for application service provider, timesharing or service bureau purposes, or any purpose other than Your own internal evaluation as contemplated by this Agreement.

Granting Enterprise Free licenses is solely at Expero’s discretion, and providing one version of the Licensed Software on an Enterprise Free basis does not indicate that Expero will provide another version of the Software on a similar basis or make available any updates or upgrades, including those necessary for data security. The Enterprise Free License permits You to install and operate the Licensed Software for a database with up to 50GB of data, irrespective of whether the database resides on one server or is distributed across multiple servers. You may not use multiple databases in one application to circumvent this limitation. The use of the Licensed Software’s built-in feature to replicate data does not count as additional data.
- Important Note for Enterprise Free Customers. Enterprise Free licenses are ineligible for Support, and Licensed Software obtained under an Enterprise Free license may not be used, directly or indirectly, in connection with any License Software that is eligible for Support. If Customer purchases an Enterprise Edition license, Customer will discontinue and/or refrain from any use of the Licensed Software obtained under the Enterprise Free license and may request Enterprise Evaluation License(s) for evaluation purposes.
