transferable, limited license to use copies of the Software in the jurisdiction in which you
acquire the Software, in accordance with the applicable User Documentation, within the
scope of the License Parameters. Autodesk’s license grant is conditioned on Your
continuous compliance with all license limitations and restrictions described in this
Agreement. If You violate any of these limitations or restrictions, the license grant will
automatically and immediately expire. The license descriptions in this Section 2 define the
scope of rights that Autodesk grants to You. Any usage of the Software outside the scope
of the applicable license grant constitutes an infringement of Autodesk’s intellectual
property rights as well as a material breach of this Agreement.
2.2 License Parameters. Autodesk’s license grant is subject to one or more of the
License Parameters defined in this Section 2.2 as specified in the User Documentation.
Unless Autodesk expressly specifies or agrees otherwise in the User Documentation, all
Software shall be governed solely by a license for Standalone (Individual) Versions (see
Section 2.2.1).
2.2.1 Standalone (Individual) Version. If Autodesk identifies the Software as a
“Standalone Version” or as an “Individual Version” or if the User Documentation does not
identify the Software by any of the version designations set forth in Sections 2.2.2 through
2.2.6, You may Install and Access one (1) copy of the Software on one (1) individual
Computer, which may not be connected to a network in a manner that allows more than one
(1) user to Access, upload, operate, view or otherwise create or use a copy of the Software.
You may not Install or Access the Software other than on one (1) computer at a time.
2.2.2 Network Version. If Autodesk identifies the Software as a “Network
Version” in the applicable User Documentation, You may Install, Access and use one (1)
copy of the Software on Your Computer file server, for Your own internal business needs,
with the Autodesk License Manager tool. The Software may be Installed on or Accessed
by other Computers, or on an individual Computer, as a multiple-user installation, so long
as the maximum number of concurrent users does not to exceed the Permitted Number.
2.2.3 Educational Institutional Version. If Autodesk identifies the Software as an
“Educational Institutional Version” in the applicable User Documentation, You may Install
and Access a single copy of the Software on up to the Permitted Number of Computers,
only for educational purposes (as further specified in the applicable User Documentation)
and for no other purpose. Without limiting the foregoing, Educational Institutional
Versions of the Software may not be used for commercial, professional, or for-profit
purposes. Additionally, functional limitations apply, as set forth in Section 6.
2.2.4 Student Version. If Autodesk identifies the Software as a “Student Version”
in the applicable User Documentation, You may Install and Access a single copy of the
Software on up to the Permitted Number of Computers, only for personal learning
purposes, and no other purpose. Unless otherwise provided by Autodesk in the User
Documentation, Student Versions of the Software may be used for a period of one (1) year
from the date of Installation. Without limiting the foregoing, Student Versions of the
Software may not be used for commercial, professional or other for-profit purposes and
may only be used by persons who qualify as a permitted user of Student Versions (as
further specified in the applicable User Documentation for the jurisdiction in which the
Software is acquired). Additionally, functional limitations apply, as set forth in Section 6.
2.2.5 Evaluation Version. If Autodesk identifies the Software as a demonstration,
evaluation, trial, or not for resale version (“Evaluation Version”) in the applicable User
Documentation, You may Install and Access one copy of the Software only for the purpose
of commercial evaluation and demonstration. Without limiting the foregoing, You may not
use it for competitive analysis, or commercial, professional, or for-profit purposes. The
Evaluation Version may only be Installed for a thirty (30) day evaluation period, unless
otherwise specified by Autodesk in writing. Additionally, functional limitations apply, as
set forth in Section 6.
2.2.6 License Term. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
license to use the Software is perpetual, unless the Software qualifies as an Evaluation
Version, a Student Version, or is designated as a fixed-term license, a limited duration
license or a rental license. In such case, the term of the license shall be the term identified
by Autodesk in the applicable User Documentation (the “Designated Term”) or the term for
which You have paid, whichever is less. If Autodesk identifies the Software as licensed for
a fixed term, limited duration or rental and does not specify a term, then the Designated
Term shall expire ninety (90) days after the date You first Install the Software. Use of this
Software beyond the applicable license term, or any attempt to defeat the time-control
disabling function in the Software is an unauthorized use and constitutes a material
violation of this Agreement and intellectual property law.
2.3 Upgrades. If Autodesk labels the Software in the User Documentation as an
upgrade or update (“New Version”) to software previously licensed to You (“Previous
Version”), You must destroy all copies of the Previous Version, including any copies
Installed on Your hard disk drive, and upon request by Autodesk return any User
Documentation to Autodesk or the authorized distributor from whom You acquired the
Previous Version within one hundred twenty (120) days of Installing the New Version.
Autodesk reserves the right to require You to show satisfactory proof that the Previous
Version has been destroyed. Autodesk or an authorized third-party in connection with the
Software licensed to You hereunder may provide You additional software that supplements
or extends the Software. Such supplemental software and any New Versions shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement except Section 5.1 (Limited
Warranty), unless otherwise specified at the time of delivery. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, You may retain and need not destroy the Previous Version and may use the
Previous Version solely if necessary (1) for the purposes of Installing the New Version
hereby licensed and (2) for archival (backup) purposes in order to Install the New Version
licensed by this Agreement if the initial installation fails.
2.4 Software Components. The Software is licensed to You as a single product and its
components may not be separated for distribution or use on more than one (1) Computer
unless expressly permitted by Autodesk in the applicable User Documentation.
