  1. Scope of Licensed Use.

2.1 General and Cross Platform Use. 

Except as otherwise provided in this EULA and so long as you comply with the terms and conditions of this EULA, you are licensed to install and run one copy of the Software on one licensed device (the first licensed device) for use by one person at a time. Provided that you comply with all the terms and conditions of this EULA and when required by the Software, you present a valid, authorized, and activated Software key, you may also install and run a second copy of the Software on a second licensed device for use only by you for your internal business or individual use only, whichever is applicable. Only one person at a time may use the Software on each licensed device and the two licensed devices may not be used simultaneously by that one person. The components of the Software are licensed as a single unit, and you may not separate or virtualize the components and install them on different devices. By way of clarity, if this license has been entered into by an entity or organization, the copies of the Software licensed hereunder may only be used for the internal business purposes of the licensee entity or organization.

2.2 Distribution from Server.

So long as you comply with the terms and conditions of this EULA, you are licensed to copy an image of the Software onto Computer file server(s) within your Internal Network for the purpose of downloading and installing the Software onto devices within the same Internal Network for use as permitted herein.

So long as you comply with the terms and conditions of this EULA, you are licensed to install a copy of the Software on Computer file server(s) within your Internal Network only for use of the Software initiated by an individual from a Computer within the same Internal Network as permitted by this EULA. The total number of users (not the concurrent number of users) able to use the Software on such Computer file servers(s) may not exceed the number permitted by the license ordered by you.

By way of example, the foregoing does not permit you to install or access (either directly or through commands, data or instructions) the Software: (i) from or to a Computer or device not part of your Internal Network, (ii) for enabling web hosted workgroups or services available to the public, (iii) by an individual or entity to use, download, copy or otherwise benefit from the functionality of the Software unless licensed to do so by Serafim, (iv) as a component of a system, workflow or service accessible by more than the number of users permitted by the license ordered by you, or (v) for operations not initiated by an individual user (e.g., automated server processing)

2.4 Restrictions on Secondary Use by Multi-user Licensees.

If the Software was obtained under a Serafim multi-user license program by any licensee, the second copy of the Software must be used solely for the benefit and business of that multi-user licensee.

2.5 Backup Copy.

So long as you comply with the terms and conditions of this EULA, you are licensed to make a reasonable number of backup copies of the Software, provided your backup copies are not installed or used for other than archival purposes.

         2.6 Integrity of 3rd Party Content and Software.

Your use of the Software may be affected by digital rights management systems in order to protect the integrity of certain third party Content and the Software. You may not use any Computer or hardware designed to defeat any copy-protection device, should the Content or Software you have licensed utilize such protection.
